Santa Maria La Nave, progetto a firma NEM, sul Financial Times, leggi l’articolo.
La Nave is a high plain that sits at 1,100m on the north-western slope of Mount Etna in Sicily. Some locals say the name – “ship” in Italian – comes from its shape, stretching like a prow towards the island’s interior. Others claim it was christened by boatbuilders for the Duke of Bronte, alias Admiral Lord Nelson, who supposedly sourced timber from its chestnut forests for his fleet. Whatever the true history, where La Nave’s tall trees once stood today there’s a vineyard – a single hectare of ungrafted and very rare Grecanico Dorato and Albanello vines, some of them as much as two centuries old.
