Michele Faro

Coming Up

At Pietradolce in Solicchiata, Castiglione di Sicilia, Michele Faro works as owner/founder, while his family’s Sicily-based plant nursery keeps him close to the agricultural side of the trade. The line to Etna runs through family practice: Faro says he was born in the area and that his grandfather was a small producer of wines from Etna.

Where They Are Now

Since 2005, Pietradolce has been the site where Faro holds two roles at once: founder and owner. He frames that work in commercial terms only after the craft terms are clear: “This is really a point of passion and not a point of business.”
