The family business Gaja has developed extremely dynamically over the last few decades and is now active not only in Piedmont but also in Tuscany and Sicily. For Angelo Gaja, Etna has always been a place of longing, and since 2015 he has been cultivating 19 hectares, primarily planted with the native grape varieties Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Capuccio. His winery is called IDDA, the native name for Etna, and that is also the name of the wine, both in red and white.

Wherever Angelo Gaja has his hands involved, an enormously impressive quality comes to the bottle. This is also true for his Sicilian project, which he has developed together with the Graci winery. He purchased two plots totaling 40 hectares on the southern side of Etna, which, in contrast to the northern side, is still quite undeveloped, with only a few wineries. The Graci winery itself is also located on the northern side of the volcano, just like Tenuta delle Terre Nere. The southern side does bring some challenges, but at the same time also seemingly endless potential, especially for white wines.
