As we wrote during the tastings for the Vini d'Italia 2024 guide, this year we tasted in situ for five days about 350 Etna wine labels, which we were the first to discover and award, being an extraordinary district that had fallen into oblivion for years, and the most recurring comments were “On Etna you really have to work hard to make bad wine”, followed by “The volcano doesn't lie, the vintages can be read perfectly. In general, year after year Sicily continues to express an extraordinary dynamism that has led it to occupy prominent positions in the Italian and international markets, and no longer just with reds, but also with whites. Almost two-thirds of the awards went to white wines, reds and a rosé from the Etna vineyards, confirming the vocation of this terroir and surprising us with memorable labels. Of particular interest is also the vertiginous increase in the number of labels bearing the name of the production district, a sort of “burgundisatio ” that has been widely predicted by experts in the field, first and foremost Giacomo Tachis.
