Tenute Bosco

Sofia Ponzini started Tenute Bosco in 2010 in an attempt to breathe life back into two small vineyards on the slopes of Mount Etna, on land reclaimed 300 years ago following the volcano’s last major eruption.

Some of the vines here are over 120 years old, and pre-date phylloxera. There is more living history in the shape of the traditional ‘alberello’ method of training, in which the vines are left free-standing but protected from the wind by dry stone walls. Sofia is intent on reviving the traditions of this land, and also the indigenous Nerello Mascalese, Nerello Cappuccio and Carricante grape varieties. Her wines not only have a sense of place, but of history too.
