Eduardo Torres Acosta grew up in Tenerife, Canary Islands, where his father was a postman with a small vineyard plot. He moved to Sicily in 2012, interning at Arianna Occhipinti in Vittoria, then working as enologist at Passopisciaro. In 2018, he converted a small Etna garage into his own winery. He works 8 parcels totaling approximately 4-4.5 hectares on Mount Etna's north-facing slopes ("versante nord") at 750-950 meters in the territory of Castiglione di Sicilia. Vines average 50+ years, some 70-100+ years old, traditional alberello pruning. Committed to organic farming, all work by hand. Wines are IGT Terre Siciliane by choice.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What Bowler Wine has to say about this wine:

50% Minnella/50% Carricante-Catarratto-Grecanico-Inzolia-other. Eduardo organically farms parcels totalling 3.5 hectares on the north face or versante nord of Mt. Etna. Those parcels are scattered amongst 6 different contrade or districts (Pietramarina, Allegracore, Sciaranuova, Friera, Santo Spirito and Marchesa). The soils are sandy volcanic ash and the elevation ranges from 550 to 850 meters. Averaging over 50 years old, the vines are generally trained in alberello, either as individual bushes or on wires depending on the parcel; the varieties are generally interplanted (with about 10-15% of the vines being white grapes separated out for this bottling). The bunches are hand-harvested, destemmed, co-fermented spontaneously with native yeasts and without sulfur in concrete tank without temperature control. Maceration lasts about 5 days. The wine is aged in cement vat for 8 months. It is bottled without fining or filtration and with a tiny amount of sulfur.
