Some of Sicily’s, and indeed the world’s, most exciting wines are grown on Mt. Etna, Europe’s highest active volcano. This Etna Rosso is from 5 sites ranging from 650 to 800 metres above sea level. The mineral soils, old bush vines and late-ripening indigenous grape varietals yield wines of formidable structure and diversity.
