Medium straw yellow colour with a fragrant bouquet rich of citrus fruit and mineral notes, with hints of Mediterranean herbs. It is vibrant, fresh and sapid on the palate.

Palmento Costanzo is located in Contrada Santo Spirito, in the village of Passopisciaro, on the north side of the volcano Etna. Palmento Costanzo also has vineyards in Contrada Feudo di Mezzo and Contrada Cavaliere. The Etneo wine-growing areas, identified as contrade (plural for Contrada), are circumscribed geographical areas that differ from each other in terms of microclimate, soil organicity, and exposure to the sun and winds.

In these contrade, Palmento Costanzo cultivates about eighteen hectares of vineyards following the principles of organic agriculture with the greatest respect of regional grape growing tradition. Over one hundred terraces, with dry stone walls in lava stone guard the vineyards planted with sapling, which wind up the slopes of the volcano to 600 to 800 meters above sea level. The century old vines are supported by chestnut poles. The cultivated varieties are the native Nerello Mascalese, Nerello Cappuccio, Carricante and Catarratto.
