AZIENDA AGRICOLA SCIARA

Azienda Agricola Sciara is a boutique winery located on the volcanic slopes of Mount Etna in eastern Sicily, producing elegant, terroir-driven wines that capture the unique character of one of Italy's most exciting wine regions. Named after the Sicilian word "Sciara," referring to ancient lava flows, the estate embraces the dramatic volcanic landscape that has shaped Etna's vineyards for centuries.

The vineyards are planted at high elevations on the northern and eastern slopes of Mount Etna, where volcanic soils, significant diurnal temperature variation, and Mediterranean sunshine create ideal conditions for producing wines of remarkable freshness, complexity, and mineral precision. The porous lava soils are rich in volcanic minerals, contributing distinctive savoury and smoky characteristics that have made Etna one of the world's most sought-after terroirs.

Azienda Agricola Sciara is best known for Etna Rosso and Etna Bianco, crafted from Sicily's indigenous grape varieties. Nerello Mascalese forms the backbone of the red wines, often supported by Nerello Cappuccio, producing elegant wines with aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry, rose petals, herbs, volcanic ash, and spice. Carricante is the flagship white variety, delivering vibrant citrus, green apple, white flowers, saline minerality, and remarkable tension with exceptional ageing potential.

The winery follows a philosophy centred on sustainable vineyard management and minimal intervention in the cellar. Hand harvesting, careful fruit selection, gentle extraction, and restrained oak use allow the volcanic terroir and native grape varieties to take centre stage. Every wine is crafted to reflect the individuality of each vineyard and the influence of Mount Etna's unique environment.

Today, Azienda Agricola Sciara represents the new generation of Etna producers that have helped establish Sicily as one of Italy's most dynamic fine wine regions. Its wines are appreciated for their elegance, freshness, and authentic expression of volcanic terroir.
