Maugeri is a small family estate located on the Eastern slopes of Mount Etna in the area of Milo. Patriarch Renato Maugeri, a native of Etna, and his three daughters Carla, Michela and Paola re-established their family winery with a mission to sustainably produce wines of Etna that express the extreme terraces where their vines are planted. 

The 7 hectares of albarello vines stretch among 83 terraces, between Contrada Praino and Contrada Volpare at elevations of 700 meters above the sea, nestled in an amphitheater between the Milo forest below Mount Etna and the Ionian Sea. The fertile volcanic soils in Praino and Volpare are sandy and incredibly soft. In the heart of the Etna Bianco Superiore zone, Maugeri focuses on producing incredible Carricante. 

Farming is biological and done by hand, and winemaking is overseen by famed Etna enologist Emiliano Falsini. Three Etna Bianco Superiores are produced from the estate: Etna Bianco Superiore Contrada ​‘Volpare,’ Etna Bianco Superiore Contrada Volpare ​‘Frontebosco,’ and Etna Bianco Superiore Contrada Praino ​‘Frontemare.’  Cattaratto plantings account for 0.5 ha of vines, producing an fresh, aromatic expression of the indigenous variety while the small area of Nerello Mascalese vines are used exclusively for production of the crisp, coastal Etna Rosato.
