Standing at the highest point of Vigna Puntalazzo, one enjoys a breathtaking view on the Ionian Sea, from the Strait of Messina to the Gulf of Catania. On the horizon the mountains of Calabria, the tip of mainland Italy; nearly one thousand metres below the centre of the scenery is dominated by the Marina di Riposto, the old port of Mt. Etna, from where Etnean wine departed towards far-away estinations.
On the terraces that slope gently to the East, the Vigneri have carefully restored the ancient dry-stone walls, then they have planted fourteen-thousand Carricante vines, in a quincunx pattern of 1 metre x 1 metre.
