Description
Tre.Mi.La. Etna wines
The company tre.mi.la. (an acronym for the three family countries and the beginning of the Trecastagni, Milo, Lavinaio project) was born from a family reality on the slopes of Mount Etna, as a natural evolution of a passion for the vineyard inherited from the grandparents. The project materialized in 2018, with the first bottling in 2019 of a small production of 3000 bottles. In 2019, we vinified the Catarratto, Carricante, and Nerello Mascalese from the Milo vineyard, in Contrada Caselle on the eastern slope of the volcano, and from a small grandfather's vineyard on the southern slope. From 2022, we have closed the circle by adding another hectare on the western slope and we are beginning to acquire the shares to be able to plant in a small plot on the northern slope. At the moment we therefore have 2.5 ha of vineyards and 0.5 to be planted. In the vineyard, thanks to the volcanic soil and favorable exposure, we only use sulfur in small quantities and zeolite. When necessary (being on the slopes of a volcano, therefore at risk of falling volcanic ash lacerating for the leaves) we use zeolite and propolis together. For the treatment of the land, we have not modified any original terracing in respect of the terroir, which is why we do everything by hand or with a tiller, not being able to use tractors. In the field, for three years, I personally take care of the green manure with fava beans, mustard and lupine. From 2021 we have managed, not without effort, to set up a small urban winery inside which we only vinify our masses, without introducing yeasts that are not those endemic to our grapes. The winery is located under the house, so we can carry out the pumping over every three hours, not having refrigerated tanks and temperature control. Following the biodynamic calendar, we carry out the necessary racking to bottle without filtration and clarification. Each wine represents the expression of a vineyard and/or district.
