2025 Awards: A Year that confirms the Value of our work

2025 was another important year for our company.
The awards we received are not a point of arrival, but rather confirmation of the path we are building day after day: a work based on listening to the vineyard, consistent choices, and respect for Etna at every stage.
The guides and experts who tasted our wines throughout the year highlighted aspects that are fundamental to us: territorial identity, precision, balance.

The main results are as follows.

Ais – Guida Vitae 2026

Etna Rosso DOC 2022 – 91.5 points
An award that recognizes a wine central to our work. Etna Rosso DOC represents the synthesis of our agronomic and winemaking choices: finesse, balance, and a clear interpretation of the districts in which we operate.

I Vini di Veronelli – Guida Oro 2026

In the 2026 edition of the Gold Guide, two of our wines received the Three Red Stars, an award reserved for labels that achieve a score between 90 and 93/100, considered “excellent wines” according to the Guide’s scale.

The winners are:

  • Etna Bianco DOC 2024 – Three Red Stars
  • Etna Rosso Pignatuni 2021 – Three Red Stars

Slow Wine 2026

Etna Bianco DOC 2024 – Top Wine

Top 50 Best Italian Rosé – Luciano Pignataro

Etna Rosato DOC 2024 – Selected in the Top 50
A result that highlights a simple, direct rosé, built on varietal freshness and a reading of Etna’s altitudes.


Each award reflects the value of daily work: the care in the vineyard, the choices in the cellar, the consistency in pursuing a precise idea of ​​wine.
For us, this means continuing to tell the story of Etna with integrity, without compromise, allowing the wines to explain the region better than any words.

2025 closes with gratitude and the awareness that every milestone is just a step along the journey.
Our commitment remains the same: to let Etna speak through wines capable of transcending time.
