South of the volcano, in the Piana di Catania, there exists an area characterized by pedoclimatic conditions which are unique on earth. Here, during the neverending sicilian summer, the day brings a dry climate and unimaginable temperatures, while at night the air becomes fresh in a inconsueta way for our latitudes. The snow that in winter covers the south side VERSANTE of our volcano, melts in spring filtering between the volcanic rocks and reaching the planes south of Catania, were it waters our luxuriant orange orchards. Thanks to the special composition of the soil in this area, to the temperature excursions and to the presence of the volcano, the red oranges gain a pigmentation of the pulp and a sugar degree that make them famous worldwide. It is in these lands that we produce our Tarocco “nucellare” oranges, with all the heart and passion of our Sicilian spirit.
