Product Description

Silvia Maestrelli is the owner and winemaker at Tenuta di Fessina. Her desire from the beginning was to create “a place of beauty, between earth and spirit”, more than a cellar in which people, skills, and energies converged, which in turn merged to enrich the estate’s intangible heritage. A pioneer among the producers on Etna, she arrived in 2006 and created one of the most successful and recognizable cellars in the Etna area.

Tenuta di Fessina is located between two ancient lava flows that isolate the vineyards, creating a unique microclimate. There are old vineyards varying in age between 70 and 110 years old, located on a ridge of shallow, black soil with an important presence of sand, small pumice, and fine clays. In this land, trace elements, iron, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and manganese abound. The vines are planted at a high density but produce few clusters. These factors give the wines their amazing richness, complexity of aroma, and elegant structure. The marked minerality bestowed by the volcanic soils is striking.

"Deep red-ruby. Flamboyant aromas of plum, chestnut and violet with high-pitched notes of spicy plum sauce. Sweet, ripe and expansive but also very pure and clean on the palate, this medium-bodied wine is tangy and penetrating today. Closes long and suave with lively acids but avoids coming off as hard. Lovely stuff." Vinous, 93 Points

The Il Musmeci, named for the Musmeci family who originally owned Fessina, is made from Nerello Mascalese grapes from a single vineyard with sandy lava soil and vines more than 80 years old.
