Xtrawine Exclusive - Tasting and Vineyard Tour l'Etna d'Alta Quota - Sicily

Stepping outside the classic Etna mold to delve into a story of extreme altitudes and unexpected grape varieties. The experience begins with a walk through a Rhine Riesling vineyard planted at high altitude on the northern slope of the volcano. Moving on toward Montelaguardia, guests take a seat in the shade of three multi-century-old olive trees, where a four-act tasting of volcanic whites begins, with Carricante giving way to international interpreters. Visitors will have the opportunity to experience a mini-vertical tasting of Mareneve, Fedegraziani’s iconic white, comparing the current vintage with two older vintages to reveal how this unique expression of the volcano evolves over time. The highlight of the journey will be tasting Argento 47, an experimental micro-vinification of pure Rhine Riesling produced in very limited quantities. Accompanying the glasses is a tasting of the estate's extra virgin olive oil and bread made from local ancient grains. An exclusive experience designed to demonstrate how, beyond the grape variety, the volcanic essence and altitude emerge as a clear, proud, and leading voice.
