Terrafusa Civetta 2019
Market Price
To show you the value you're getting as an Angel...
We regularly benchmark a selection of our wines against up to three comparable wines on the market. The Market Price is based on the price of those wines.
What do we mean by benchmark? We taste them blind against our own wines, or we use our market knowledge (over 40 years between us) to set an industry standard Market Price.
If you buy one of our wines and disagree with the Market Price, or it's not your cup of tea, we'll add a credit to your account. For more info, see our FAQS.

About the wine
This volcanic Italian red is shaking things up
- 'We share a passion for wine and always dreamt of making our own. After spotting a beautiful vineyard on Mount Etna (where Dino's from) with a magnificent view on the volcano and old, low-yield, high quality vines we jumped at it. We've been converting and developing the vineyard into an organic, zero-pesticide, bio-dynamic project ever since.
- We've been striving to produce the best possible natural wine that would truly reflect its special terroir on Mount Etna.
- For this Civetta we've used 100% indigenous Nerello grapes, with strong red berries flavours, spiced hints and a vanilla infused liquorice finish. It reminds us of Pinot Noir, with a volcanic twist.'

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Dino Distefano
- Dino and Sophie are what can only be described as the ultimate Old World power couple - she’s French, he’s Italian and both have a passion for quality winemaking. Despite both coming from countries which established the most well loved and respected winemaking traditions in the world, they certainly aren’t afraid of a good shake up.
- Eco friendly winemaking had long been a point of fascination for the duo, so when they spotted a small vineyard on Mount Etna with stunning views of the Volcano, they knew it was time to make a run of things for themselves. They take a minimal intervention approach to the winery, allowing nature to take center stage and treat each old vine (with an average age of 50!) with kid gloves.
- With Etna's volcanic soil at their fingertips, Dino and Sophie have given old world Italian wines quite the revamp. If you’re looking to enjoy premium quality wines, as well as the knowledge that you’re supporting a small family business, look no further...
