Why we like it
Contrada Rampante is the highest contrada which rises above 1000 meters / 3280 feet asl. This vineyard reaches the limit of vine cultivation on Etna where the plants have to struggle to survive. The soil is made of very antique sandy and oxidized lava. The vines reach 120 years of age.
