We embark on a journey to Catania, Italy, home to the picturesque Santa Maria la Nave boutique winery. Sonia Spadaro Mulone, the owner, shares insights into her winery and the fascinating story behind its inception.

Sonia, a multilingual individual, offers a glimpse into her linguistic prowess and cultural background, setting the stage for an enriching conversation.

We're introduced to Don Alfio, a revered figure in Sonia's life and the guardian of a special vineyard on Mount Etna. His wisdom and passion for viticulture leave a lasting impression, shaping Sonia's journey in the wine industry.

As we delve deeper into Sonia's narrative, we uncover the unique biodiversity and geographical significance of Mount Etna, the highest active volcano in Europe, and it's surrounding areas.

Calmarossa Etna DOC Red - Our Calmarossa is forged by centuries of Etna winemaking tradition, from which a strong and stubborn wine is born, but at the same time elegant, like the ancient plants from which it comes.

Millesulmare Sicilia DOC White - Millesulmare is born from the splendid Grecanico Dorato vines of our Casa Decima vineyard, a wine with extraordinary minerality and elegant hints of mountain and sea.
