Let's go through the volcanic soul of Sicily with this rare natural wine bundle from I Custodi, a benchmark producer of Mount Etna’s rebirth. This red and white duo captures the fiery tension and mineral complexity of Italy’s most active volcano — a terroir beloved by wine lovers and sommeliers alike.

  • Etna Rosso ‘Pistus’ 2022: A structured, savory red made mostly from Nerello Mascalese grown on the northern slopes of Mount Etna. Expect lean tannins, red berries, herbs, and smoky earth — a style once called “navigabile” for its ability to age and travel long distances.

  • Etna Bianco ‘Aedes’ 2023: A racy white, mostly Carricante, grown 900 meters above sea level on Etna’s sea-influenced eastern slope. Crisp citrus, salt-spray minerality, and a lifted acidity that screams summer dinners and raw seafood.

Crafted by Mario Paoluzi and Salvo Foti with I Vigneri, these wines are rooted in tradition, volcanic soils, and ancient albarello vines — some over 150 years old.

Perfect for: Natural wine collectors, volcanic terroir fans, and anyone looking to taste the pulse of Mount Etna in a bottle.

About the Winemaker

I Custodi

Mount Etna is a current darling of the Italian wine scene, and I Custodi is among the 21st-century Etna Renaissance producers who are now making wines as compelling as the active volcano’s cooled lava flows. Founder Mario Paoluzi has teamed up with Etna guru Salvo Foti and I Vigneri, the local vineyard workers who tend the ancient albarello vines, and volcanic terracing. The Etna Rosso ‘Pistus’ (mostly Nerello Mascalese) comes from Etna’s north slope, where the wines are known to be structured and savoury. In 1774, the Florentine scholar Sestini called them ‘navigabile’ or ship-worthy, keeping after long voyages. Don’t miss 150+ year old-vines mostly-Nerello cru ‘Aetneus.’ The racy Etna Bianco ‘Ante’ (mostly Carricante) comes from 900 meter high vineyards on the sea-influenced eastern slop

About Natural Wine

Great question! There are a lot of definitions for natural wine with the main term you'll hear being that it has had minimal intervention. To be more specific, our definition is that the wine must first be sustainably farmed, which typically means it was organically or biodynamically farmed.

Then, in the cellar the natural winemaking process has some differences as well! The wine is typically unfined, unfiltered, and goes through spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts. If you want to know more about what natural wine is, we have an entire guide under our reference section!

The short answer is that natural wine can taste like any other kind of conventional wine (we like to call these stealth natural wines) or it can taste quite a bit different, as production methods can vary and potentially be lighter, or in a style you've never had before (like orange, pet-nat or amphora).

The natural wine community is also more accepting of some qualities in wines that conventional would consider a flaw, like Brett, some oxidation, or volatile acidity. We would consider these in high amounts to also be a flaw, but in many cases a touch of these qualities can ultimately improve their flavor and texture and be happily accepted in a natural wine.
