Winery Visit & Tasting on the Volcanic Slopes near Catania

Perched on the eastern slopes of Mount Etna, surrounded by olive groves, aromatic herbs, and native vineyards, this wine experience offers a journey into a rare ecosystem where history, viticulture, and sustainability converge. The estate, cultivated since ancient times, welcomes visitors with a guided exploration of a unique underground cellar designed to harmonize with the landscape. Carved into the earth according to principles of bioarchitecture, the cellar showcases a striking cross-section of volcanic soil that reveals millennia of geological history. Here, the vineyard roots penetrate layers of cooled lava, making the connection between the land and the wine tangible. The family behind the estate has tended these vineyards since the seventies, pioneering organic certification on the volcano and embracing sustainability standards that honor ecological, ethical, and economic balance.

Visitors are then invited to a panoramic terrace that stretches from the volcanic summit to the Ionian Sea for a guided tasting of three organic Etna DOC wines. Each wine tells the story of the land from which it comes, with the white reflecting the mineral precision of Milo, the rosé offering bright red fruit and refreshing saline notes, and the red blending earthiness and elegance in every sip. Accompanying the tasting is traditional bread paired with estate olive oil, a simple expression of the care woven throughout the estate.
