Soulful. Earthy. Volcanic elegance.
The Giovinco Etna Rosso is a wine that carries the soul of Mount Etna — Europe’s most active volcano and one of Sicily’s most extraordinary terroirs. Here, where the soil is black and mineral-rich, vines grow in a constant dance between earth and sky, fire and frost. The result is a red of striking elegance, lifted aromas, and unmistakable personality.
Crafted from Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio, two native Sicilian grapes that thrive on these slopes, this wine captures both intensity and grace. The days are warm, the nights cool, and the volcanic dust adds its unmistakable mark — creating a red that feels almost ethereal. Giovinco’s organic approach preserves that purity, allowing each sip to express the land in its truest form.
In the glass, Etna Rosso reveals translucent ruby hues and a delicate perfume of red cherries, pomegranate, rose petals, and gentle spice. The palate is finely structured — silky tannins weaving through layers of red fruit, mineral tension, and a savoury finish that speaks of lava stone and sea breeze. It’s a wine of depth and balance, a harmony between nature’s extremes.
For those in Ireland who dream of discovering the raw beauty of Sicily, Giovinco Etna Rosso is an invitation — a taste of volcanic artistry from a land that never ceases to inspire.
Why we love it:This is Etna Rosso at its best: refined yet characterful, bright yet mineral — a wine that captures both the power and elegance of its volcanic birthplace. Ideal for special dinners or exploring the soul of Sicilian terroir.

Founded in the 1920s in Sambuca di Sicilia by Vito Giovinco, the family’s third-generation team now nurtures two distinct estates—one on the volcanic slopes of Etna. Their organic, terroir-driven approach in Contrada San Lorenzo yields expressive wines that balance tradition with modern elegance.
