Sicily has been called the gateway to Europe or a land that straddles two continents, as it sits on the collision point between the tectonic plates of Eurasia and Africa. It’s a melting pot of cultures and people, the home of many Italian-Americans’ ancestors, and it’s one of the most exciting places for food and wine in the entire world.

It is at this collision point that we find Mt. Etna, one of the most nutrient-rich places on the planet, an ideal place for growing high-quality grapes that produce some of the most sought-after wine in the world, wine that is beginning to rival even the great Burgundy in quality.
