Destro Vini is a winery located in Montelaguardia, a small village of rural houses 750 meters above sea level. At the gates of the medieval town of Randazzo, the vineyards of the Destro estate lie on the gentle ridges of the valley under Montenero, on the north-east side of Etna. A group of farmhouses and an ancient manor house mark the industrious presence of man since 1897. In this place, the Dilettoso of Randazzo laid the first stone, as evidenced by the inscription engraved on the portal of the old wine press at the entrance of the estate. "Island of Fire", thus Dante defined Sicily for the presence of Etna. “A Muntagna“, as the volcano is confidentially called, is an integral part of the way of thinking and doing of those Sicilians, who like the Destro family live on its slopes. These people, with a certain reverential fear, aware of the risk they run, have over the millennia stubbornly and courageously snatched pieces of land from the arid expanses of lava. Here the Destro family, driven by great attachment and love for their land, is dedicated to the cultivation of native vines. Qualities such as Nerello Mascalese and Carricante with the sole aim of achieving with great passion and dedication the maximum expression of their wines. In these places the scents and colors take on a truly special aspect. In the furrow of the tradition carried forward over the years by its predecessors, this historic company is today revived by Destro Vini into a modern winemaking company. A combination of technology and tradition in which the warehouses and old rural houses, appropriately renovated, house state-of-the-art winemaking equipment and tools.
