Carranco was born from the meeting between two famous wine producers Borgogno and Tornatore, that decided to combine their experiences on Mount Etna - a combination of history and wine producing experience and authentic Etna roots. Borgogno, is the oldest winery in Barolo, while Tornatore, originally from Castiglione di Sicilia, is one of the few remaining native producers on Etna.
The Carranco estate sits at an altitude of 500 meters above sea level in the Contrada Carranco near the municipality of Castiglione di Sicilia, located on the north side of Etna and considered to be one of the most suitable slopes for wine production. The estate covers an area of eight hectares of vineyard, cultivated with the native vines of Etna, mainly Nerello Mascalese, then Nerello Cappuccio and Carricante. The vineyards, which are about 50 - 60 years old, are maintained using sustainable agricultural techniques that fully respect tradition and the environment, and give life to grapes of outstanding quality.
