A meeting to learn more about the most representative white wine of the Doc Etna: Carricante. An ancient vine, grown on the slopes of Etna since ancient times, which is expressed in wines of great finesse, elegant aromatic bouquet and taste structure characterized by deep minerality. We will discover its most interesting expressions, driven by the enthusiasm of local producers and the consolidated experience of a Professor of the Italian Sommeliers Foundation.

Consortium for the Protection of Etna wines with designation of controlled origin
There is activity not only at magmatic level, but also on the slopes of Etna, the great volcano in Catania that never faded. And it is in a positive ferment, expressed by wine producers of character, from Sicily and elsewhere, who have chosen to bet on rough sandy soils, rich in texture, which cover the slopes of the crater. A land certainly difficult, but wonderful, deeply devoted to viticulture since ancient times, as evidenced by the writings of the poet Theocritus in the third century BC. Doc since 1968 (among the first in Italy) in the last ten years the Etna Doc was able to recall the attention of critics and fans on its wine production, thanks to the quality of its Nerello Mascalese and its Carricante, wines of indisputable elegance and able to demonstrate a strong minerality.
More than 30 companies will present their wines for tasting, to make us feel the warmth and the strength of their land.
Below is a list of companies in the Etna DOC Consortium participants.
