The Emanuele Scammacca del Murgo wine estate is on the eastern slopes of Mount Etna, 500 meters above sea level, in a panoramic and beautiful setting. Etna is one of the limited areas of the world that has pre-phylloxera vineyards that survived the deadly plague of the 19th-century. The rich terroir allows them to grow special, fruity, high-quality grapes for their wines. Emanuele Scammacca del Murgo transformed the old property into a productive wine and agricultural estate. His sons joined him in the future, along with other members of their family.
Baron Emanuele Scammacca del Murgo, although engaged in a long diplomatic career that led him to be Ambassador of Italy to the Holy See, Brussels, Moscow and Undersecretary of State for Foreign Affairs, in 1981 decided to transform the ancient land properties of family in modern and productive farms, implementing gradual and continuous improvements.
In the following years his sons Michele, Alessandro, Pietro, Matteo joined him, supported by his brothers Filippo, Bernardo, Manfredi and Costantino.
Today we continue with the family tradition, looking to the future together with the new generations.
