The Experience

Sicily is where Italian winemaking began — Greek colonists planted vines here nearly three millennia ago. Today, a new generation of winemakers is rediscovering indigenous varieties like Nerello Mascalese and Carricante, creating wines of extraordinary elegance from some of Europe’s highest vineyards.

The black volcanic soil of Etna imparts a mineral intensity to the wines that is unlike anything else in Italy. Standing among the vines with the snow-capped volcano looming above, you’ll understand why this place produces wines that are utterly unique.
