Federico Curtaz is a distinguished winemaker known for crafting elegant, terroir-driven wines from Sicily, primarily on the volcanic slopes of Mount Etna. Although he has roots in Piedmont, having worked as an agronomist for Angelo Gaja for 15 years, he eventually fell in love with Sicily's unique volcanic terroir. Adopting a minimal intervention approach, Curtaz focuses on allowing the volcanic fruit and terroir to express themselves with clarity and elegance. He applies his vast experience from the meticulous Gaja vineyards to the unique environment of Etna. Curtaz's wines are highly regarded for their precision, minerality, and ability to reflect the unique character of Sicily's diverse terroir.
