In 2005, Michele Faro was kidnapped...but not in the way that you may think. Growing up in a family dedicated to agriculture, Michele graduated with a degree in agronomy and began working in his family’s successful landscaping business. In 2005, his passion for wine became so great that he decided to get back to his family roots and started wine production as his grandfather had done many years before. A choice of passion. A love for tradition...and Pietradolce was born.

Pietradolce, literally means “sweet stone” and with vineyards in Solicchiata, Etna, you can’t get any earthier. The soil is indeed volcanic in origin and very stony, sandy and mineral rich. The Etna volcano’s abundant mineral components and microclimate – cool nights, warm days and wide-ranging temperature variations – give Pietradolce wines extraordinary richness, minerality, fragrance and depth.
