Etna Volcano Area, Sicily
As Wikipedia said: Mount Etna is one of the most active volcanoes in the world and is in an almost constant state of activity. The fertile volcanic soils support extensive agriculture, with vineyards and orchards spread across the lower slopes of the mountain and the broad Plain of Catania to the south. Due to its history of recent activity and nearby population, Mount Etna has been designated a Decade Volcano by the United Nations.
Obviously we will pay in the article a particular attention to the “fertile volcanic soil” that gives to the wine made in this area several interesting characteristics.
In the area cultivated and native wines and international varieties, so besides excellent local wine, we also have excellent Syrah, Cabernet and so on…
Anyway in the next days I will write some articles paying a particular attention to the places I visited and the native wines I found on my way.
The master of the area, in my opinion is the red Nerello Mascalese, from which, together with the Nerello Cappuccio, came out the best red wines of the area. Anyway keep following the blog for some interesting news about Sicilian wine…..
