Eduardo moved to Sicily in 2012 to work the harvest as an intern at Arianna Ochippinti’s cellar in Vittoria. Four years on and he now works at Pasopisciaro winery while running his own project. He rents about 2Ha of vineyards in the Etna, divided among three different plots, and vinifies everything at Arianna’s winery.
Versante Nord comes from two plots at 550m and 700m of altitude, planted 45 to 50 years ago with Nerello Mascalese and some other varieties. The wine was fermented in cement with about 10% whole bunch and aged for 18 months in foudre.
