Sicily’s magnetic pull just got stronger. The Tommasi Family Estates, legends of Valpolicella winemaking, have unleashed Ammura—a bold new venture on the fiery slopes of Mount Etna. This isn’t just another winery; it’s a love letter to Sicily’s volcanic soul, wrapped in two stunning DOC wines that demand your attention.
Nestled at 570 meters in the Etna Natural Park, Ammura’s 15-hectare estate thrives where lava meets Mediterranean breeze. The debut lineup? An Etna Rosso DOC (100% Nerello Mascalese, 10,300 bottles) bursting with red berries, spice, and minerality, and an Etna Bianco DOC (100% Carricante, 12,500 bottles) delivering crisp salinity and age-worthy acidity. These aren’t mass-market pours—each bottle is a limited-edition snapshot of Etna’s raw elegance, crafted in a sleek 1,500-square-meter winery that hums with precision.
The name Ammura—Arabic for “beautiful, beloved, enchanting”—nods to Sicily’s layered history while tying into the Tommasi family’s Venetian roots. Here, Etna isn’t just a backdrop; it’s the star. Known locally as “A’ Muntagna,” the volcano’s maternal energy pulses through every vine, turning volcanic soil into liquid poetry. The labels, with their prickly pear and lava-textured dandelions, scream Sicilian grit and grace.
Pierangelo Tommasi sums it up: “Etna is one of Italy’s most magnetic wine regions. With Ammura, we’ve embraced its intensity and elegance—a tribute to the volcano’s voice.” This is Sicily at its most untamed: rugged terrain, ancient vibes, and wines that hit like a Mediterranean thunderclap. Add it to your list—because if Ammura doesn’t make you book a flight, nothing will.
