SICILY

Anna Martens is a young Australian oenologist who after graduating in oenology decides to shoot the world until he comes to Italy and finds work first at the Ornellaia Estate and then from Passopisciaro, a company located on Etna. And during this time he falls in love with this area and decides to settle permanently in Sicily with her husband Eric Narioo, founder of Les Caves de Pyrene. Anna begins her experiments, made of spontaneous fermentations, long macerations and refinements in amphora, until she can get her natural wine she wanted and wanted. Its vineyards are all planted with sapling, they are small plots located in the vicinity of Solicchiata, on the steep slopes of Mount Etna. Anna cultivates only native Sicilian vines; Nerelo Mascalese, Nerello Cappuccio, Carrier and Alicante. Today Anna's work is recognized everywhere so many young people arrive at his cellar to learn working methods.
