Here, wine is born of fire before it is born of earth.
On the slopes of Europe's tallest and most active volcano, at altitudes no other Italian wine region reaches, Nerello Mascalese finds in the black lava soil a minerality unlike anywhere else in the world — often compared to the great wines of Burgundy.
Each contrada — Montedolce, Rampante, Calderara Sottana, Guardiola — tells a different story of exposure, altitude and soil, forming a mosaic of micro-terroirs with few equals on the planet. On the eastern slope, Milo is home to the only Etna Bianco Superiore.
Wineries of Etna brings together the volcano's finest wine producers: historic estates and boutique producers who, since the early 2000s, have brought Etna back to the centre of world winemaking, united by the same idea of volcanic excellence.
