ABOUT US
The Mondifeso Winery is the beating heart of a family tradition that has been handed down for generations. Located in Pedara, 800 meters above sea level, it lies gently on the slopes of Mount Difeso, in the heart of the prestigious area D.O.C. of the Etna Park.
Here, on about 7 hectares of generous land, nature offers a unique microclimate: the intense sunlight and the strong thermal variations between day and night allow the grapes to develop an extraordinary aromatic bouquet, enhancing the authentic characteristics of the territory.
In the vineyards we cultivate with passion the most representative autochthonous varieties of Etna: the Carricante, elegant and mineral, and the Nerello Mascalese, refined and intense, pure expressions of our volcanic land.
Our history has its roots in the 70s, when, with dedication and foresight, the old cultivation was transformed into a modern trellis plant, improving the quality and yield of the grapes.
Since 2005, our commitment has been reinforced by the adoption of the organic method, an act of love for nature and its fruits, to produce wines that tell our deep bond with the land, time and tradition.
Mondifeso: the wine that comes from the heart of Etna.
THE WINERY
The core of our company is the old Palmento built in the 1800s, today’s sales point. This is where tradition meets hospitality, in a place where our way of telling the story of wine and transmitting its values makes everyone who enters our cellar feel at home and want to return.
THE VINEYARD
The particular slope of the soil makes the cultivation of vines a real challenge, characterizing itself as an example of heroic viticulture. The vines, grown on steep slopes, are cultivated with passion and dedication, using traditional methods that respect the territory and its peculiarities.
