This small estate on the northern slope of Mount Etna was recently established by Marco de Grazia, owner of the nearby Tenuta delle Terre Nere.

“Establishing Le Vigne di Eli – Marco says – was effortless. A simple act of love towards my little daughter Elena (Eli). It happened in 2006. I was offered first one, then another, tiny vineyard, both in exceptional crus: Feudo di Mezzo and Moganazzi-Voltasciara. I bought them, and since the parcels were so small and fine, I was somehow reminded of Elena. Thus, Le Vigne di Eli was born”.

“To use Elena’s drawings as labels came naturally – Marco explains – because I love her art work. And equally naturally came the impulse to have this “child’s estate” be a help to children in need. Thus a substantial part of the small proceeds go to a childrens’ hospital, the Ospedale Pediatrico Meyer in Florence. With this, the “children’s project came full circle. “

Today, seeing the growing appreciation for Eli’s very fine wines, we keep on selecting more tiny parcels of outstanding quality, contracting them, and releasing a bit more very fine wine. This includes a lovely Etna Bianco from a tiny vineyard in the Moganazzi sub-zone.

And in the future I know I’ll surely be tempted by other precious little parcels. We’ll just have to wait and see.

L'azienda nasce nel 2006 da Marco de Grazia, proprietario della rinomata Tenuta delle Terre Nere. Dice Marco che Creare Le Vigne di Eli è stato semplice e facile come un atto d’amore, che ho fatto nei confronti di mia figlia Elena (Eli), all’epoca ancora neonata. Accadde nel 2006: mi furono offerti prima un piccolo vigneto, poi un altro, entrambi in cru eccezionali: Feudo di Mezzo e Moganazzi-Voltasciara. Li acquistai e poiché questi terreni erano cosi piccoli e così belli, mi ricordavano la mia piccolina, Elena. In questo modo, nacquero Le Vigne di Eli”. Le etichette sono tutte create dai disegni di Elena. E allo stesso modo, in maniera del
