- Etna DOC is situated on the slopes of Mount Etna, Europe’s highest and most active volcano, located in northeastern Sicily. The vineyards are planted at elevations ranging from 400 to over 1,000 meters above sea level, creating diverse microclimates.
- The volcanic soils of Etna are rich in minerals and vary significantly due to the frequent lava flows and eruptions. These soils contribute to the unique minerality and complexity of Etna wines, giving them a distinctive character.
