In Sicily, the wine
culture is an ancient history; it was already present on the
Island at the Second Millennium B.C. Many varieties of autochthonous
grapes are still cultivated in the area and some of them exclusively
on Etna: carricante, catarratto, nerello mascalese and nerello
cappuccio. Some D.O.C. wines are produced from these grapes,
as the Etna Rosso and the Etna Bianco. |

The wineries achieve to establish
themselves up to more than 1.300 meters. |

The production area is dominated
by the volcano which power is reminded in a constant way thanks
to the lava flows on which generations of winegrowers have
been growing grapes on terrace. |

The microclimate on Etna is characterized
by high temperature gaps. The soil is rich in minerals. Both
factors give to these wines unique perfumes and flavors. To
travel along the Wine Road of Etna and to taste other local
products, is certainly the most original way to discover this
area. |
