Guido Coffa Wines
Today Etna is an area recognized to be one of the most endowed areas for wine production, one of the top 10 territories in the world. Our elegant wines, (organic certified), are territory wines distinguished by strength, finesse and elegance.. Above all, we nurture respect for the earth and its product, the grapes.
An obsessive care for the vineyard above all else because "great grapes produce great wines”, is at the heart of our philosophy.
Monaci delle Terre Nere is the first privileged spot to taste our own wine, made from the wines of our own vineyards, with different native varieties of the Etna region, such as Nerello Mascalese and Carricante, a wine grape variety which can be found only in the Etna Region.
Etna Bianco DOC
is made from 100% Carricante grapes. Carricante is an Etna indigenous grape. In fact it is the only place in the world where it is grown. The wines of the Carricante grape have great longevity. It is a refined and complex wine that we thoroughly recommend
Catarratto DOC
the Sicilian indigenous grape by antonomasia.
The Catarratto is a white grape and the most cultivated in Sicily. When grown in the lava soils of Mt. Etna, however , it does not have the bitter aftertaste sometimes found in much of the Sicilian continent.
Mineral, dry and intense aromas characterize this wine. We are sure that you will be won over by the pleasure of drinking this delicious white. It is a Sicilian classic that is taken to new heights by the soil of Mt Etna
U' Ranaci
is produced from Grenace grapes, a vine brought by the French vina-culturalists to Mount Etna centuries ago. Besides the characteristics of softness, body and velvety tannins, it achieves a natural depth of tone from the lava soil of Etna. "U 'Ranaci" is the name used by our ancestors who' Sicilianized 'the name of the Grenace.
Etna Rosso Doc
a blend of Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio in a small percentage. Both Etna native grapes, the two grapes create a wine with clear territorial connotation gifted with strength, elegance and finesse.
