About Eduardo Torres Versante Est Carricante

Mount Etna, the tallest and most active volcano in Europe, towers majestically over Catania, in the east of Sicily. A living giant that has shaped an extreme landscape and a unique viticulture for centuries. Its volcanic soils, rich in minerals and naturally well-drained, compel the vines to delve deep with their roots, resulting in wines of great freshness, distinctive character, and a complexity difficult to replicate anywhere else in the world.

In this context, a new generation of winemakers emerged, understanding that Etna cannot be controlled, only interpreted. Among the names that paved the way are Arianna Occhipinti, with her natural and respectful vision of the vineyard, and Andrea Franchetti, the mastermind behind Passopisciaro and a pivotal figure in the international projection of Etna wines. Their approach to working the land and interpreting the volcano laid the foundations of modern viticulture in the area and became a reference for many young producers.

One of them is Eduardo Torres, originally from Tenerife in the Canary Islands, where he grew up among volcanic vineyards and learned winemaking alongside his father. In 2012, he arrived in Sicily with the intention of training and delving into a viticulture he felt was close to him in origin and philosophy. After several years of learning alongside these two Sicilian pioneers, Eduardo began working on his own project with a clear focus: manual labour, minimal intervention, and a precise reading of the terroir.

This philosophy is clearly expressed in Eduardo Torres Versante Est Carricante. The grapes of the carricante variety come from vineyards aged between 45 and 50 years, located at an altitude of 650 metres on loose volcanic ash soils. With special attention to the eastern slope of Etna, it allows for balanced ripening, preserving freshness and tension.

The vinification remains true to his style. A skin maceration lasting 5 days, fermentation with native yeasts in concrete tanks without temperature control, and subsequent aging for 8 months in Slovenian oak casks ranging from 6 to 10 hectolitres.

The result is Eduardo Torres Versante Est Carricante, a precise, mineral, and profound carricante that speaks of Etna with its own voice and confirms the influence of a Sicilian school that has turned the landscape into identity.
