Massimo Lentsch
Massimo Lentsch wanted to embark on another adventure on volcanic soil, this time challenging Mount Etna, an eruptive volcano, to create a niche wine production with unique characteristics of charm and elegance. All operations are carried out strictly by hand. The grape ripening stages are controlled for each individual plant, and the harvest is wisely decided on the basis of what you want to get from the final product. The differentiated management of each single vine allows to provide promptly and effectively to every need, and to fully understand the dynamics of the complex "vineyard system”.
Vigna Cosentino, from which the Cru Etna Rosso DOC Cosentino is produced, is characterised by centenary trees, with various pre-phylloxera and free foot plants. The classic Etna Rosso DOC San Teodoro is produced from the vineyard just below the terraces that collect these splendid old vines. Also in this vineyard there are saplings with a free foot and well over sixty years old.
