Fun Facts:  Angelo Paternò worked for 25 years as the winemaker and technical director for the Sicilian wineries Cantine Settesoli and then Duca di Salaparuta.  He then bought 60 hectares (148 acres) on a hill in Noto, Sicily.  Angelo handed the reins over to his daughters, Marilina and Federica, but is still hands-on.  Everything passes through concrete tanks that enter the cellar; with long grape macerations which creates character filled, textural wines.
