Angled image of a man selecting a wineglass from a table, barely visible in dusk light, with a sunset over Mount Etna behind.

With her majestic presence and nutrient-rich soil, Etna has watched over Sicily for millennia.

Meet Head Sommelier Veronica Bonelli, for an introduction to the world of Eta wines as she unveils anecdotes and the stories behind the grape varieties. Then, follow Michele Faro, owner of the Pietradolce winery, as he explores the crafts and traditions of the local Etna grape harvest — resulting this year in the creation of a unique bottle of Etna wine, exclusively designed for our iconic residence.
