Winter has set in at both Tenuta di Trinoro and Passopisciaro, with winter’s work filling the day’s activities. At Trinoro, we are tending the vines, pruning in the rocky soils of the higher vineyards by Cocceto (left), while on Mt. Etna, we are moving up and down the steep terraces to prune and collect the shoots of the Nerello Mascalese plants, where the bush vines have been standing for now a hundred years (right).
