At 3,600 feet, the vineyards of Santa Maria La Nave sit among the highest in Europe — a landscape of ancient lava flows, pulverized ash, and decomposed rock where fruit trees and wild groves grow alongside the vines. Here, Sonia Spadaro Mulone farms Grecanico Dorato, the Sicilian alias for Garganega, in soils with a talcum-like texture that exist nowhere else on earth. Battonage on fine lees and six months in bottle before release give Millesulmare a richness and precision that feels unmistakably volcanic — complex, mineral, and quietly unlike anything else in your cellar. If you know Santa Maria La Nave from the Calmarossa, this is the other side of the same extraordinary mountain.
