By raising the price range to 20 Euros, in the Gambero Rosso Berebene 2024 guide, we were able to feature a small group of wines from Mount Etna. If the entire Sicilian wine region has experienced a wave of dynamism in recent years, bringing regional wines to the forefront in both domestic and international markets, we can certainly say that the epicentre of this renaissance started right from the Etna region. And it's not necessary to spend a fortune to enjoy wines from the volcano. We demonstrate this with a small list featuring reds (from Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio grapes), whites (from Catarratto and Carricante), and even an excellent rosé, a type showing strong quality growth on the slopes of Mount Etna, which we feel confident in betting on.
