The Farm "Fratelli Saletti" is located in the territory of Randazzo, on the north-west of Etna at 700 meters, where the Alcantara river seems to join the massive volcanic with the southern mountains of the Nebrodi, on a layer of rocks rich in minerals and fluvial sediments.
Randazzo, medieval city, is inserted in the heart of a territory varied and unique at the same time, made precious by the simultaneous presence of three protected area parks : the Regional Park of Etna, the Nebrodi park and the Alcantara River Park in the center of what was once the Val Demone.
The climate is temperate and characterized by large temperature ranges.
These unique features are the environmental setting in which our Company is inserted. It consists of eight hectares of olive trees with more than two thousand plants of Brandofino and Nocellara Etnea variety, for the production of our extra virgin olive DOP oil and six hectares of vineyard Nerello Mascalese from which we gather the grapes for winemaking DOC Etna Rosso red wine
