Antichi Vinai

Antichi Vinai is a winery based in the Etna DOC region of Sicily, producing red wines from vineyards situated on the slopes of Mount Etna. The producer works within one of Italy's most geologically distinctive wine territories, where volcanic soils and elevation significantly influence the character of the wines made there.

Etna DOC is known for its cool-climate conditions despite Sicily's southern location, a result of the volcano's altitude and its moderating effect on temperatures. The region's volcanic terroir—composed of lava, pumice, and mineral-rich soils—creates wines with distinctive minerality and structure. Red wines from Etna traditionally show freshness and complexity, with good acidity and fine tannins that set them apart from warmer southern Italian regions.

Antichi Vinai's current range includes a rare red blend from the 2016 vintage, reflecting the producer's focus on blended reds crafted from Etna's indigenous and international grape varieties. These wines showcase the volcanic character and mineral precision that define serious winemaking on Mount Etna's slopes.
