Etna is all about power and elegance combined for both its red and white wines. Wines have a mineral edge which tasters attribute to Etna’s volcanic soil. Etna flung Sicily into the international spotlight just 25 years ago with its amazing wines, when a few vintners discovered the treasures of the Etna zone. It’s easy to see why there wasn’t much attention paid to this area in northeastern Sicily, as the soil here was basically volcanic rock and lava deposits that were the result of eruptions over the centuries from nearby Mount Etna. Rich soil indeed, but how do you grow grapes in this earth?
