Sample Sicily’s world-renowned wines at the esteemed Tenuta San Michele winery, which nestles on the fertile lands at the base of Mount Etna. You’ll appreciate a scenic journey through the verdant farmlands and vineyards of eastern Sicily to Tenuta San Michele, a distinguished winery that takes full advantage of the region’s ideal micro-climate of cold winters, temperate summers and abundant rain. You’ll learn the quality of the region’s grapes is further enhanced by the lava soil, which is rich in potassium and mineral salts. Once at the estate, cherish wonderful panoramas of the surrounding landscape afforded by the high elevation. Discover the estate sprawls over 62 acres distributed across large terraces, on which unique Etna varietals are grown, including nerello Mascalese, nerello cappuccio, carricante and catarratto.
