The Murgo estate is situated in a privileged
position southeast of Mount Etna and has been making wines
traditional to this territory since 1850. In 1981 Baron
Emanuele Scammacca del Murgo modernized the estate to optimize
the quality of his wines, and his sons Michele, Pietro,
and Matteo focus on that same goal in their daily work in
the vineyards and cellar. The unique conditions created
by the volcano make for wines with unusual finesse, aromatic
complexity, and strong personality.
The volcano was recently active; and as such, a lot of focus has now returned to the graceful, energetic wines of Sicily. Read more about the wines of this precarious volcanic island in the recent New York Times article "Sicilian Reds Harness A Volcano's Energy" here.
