Winery Famiglia Statella

The winery began as a family project led by winemaker Calogero Statella together with his wife Rita. After studying enology and gaining some professional experience, in 2016 the couple purchased their first vineyard in Contrada Pettinociarelle and began producing wines that reflect the microzones of Etna.

Artisanal work in the vineyard and cellar, with careful attention to balance with nature. The goal is to bottle the exact expression of Etna's terroir using environmentally friendly methods and organic production practices.

The vineyards are located on the slopes of Etna in contrade such as Pettinociarelle and Pignatuni; the soils are of volcanic origin and the elevations reported for some wines are around 700–750 m above sea level.
