| Description: | About the Icons. A Monthly Wine Club Selection. Emanuele Scammacca Barone del Murgo enjoyed a long, important career as a diplomat, serving as Italian Ambassador to Brussels and Moscow, as well as Assistant Secretary of the Estate of Foreign Affairs for Italy. His family had been cultivating olives and making wine on the slopes of Mount Etna-Sicily's still active volcano-since 1850. While production was originally intended for local consumption only (mainly friends and family), in 1981, Emanuele got more serious about the wine business. Well aware of the family estate's excellent terroir (composed exclusively of decomposed lava), and with the help of his eight sons, he set out to transform the ancient property into a modern wine estate. They initially focused their efforts on Nerello Mascalese-an indigenous Sicilian grape varietal that thrives in the island's high-altitude vineyards and pure volcanic soils. |
