| Story | A goddess-volcano stands out on the label of Donnafugata's Etna Bianco Sul Vulcano. Its intense colours - red, yellows, iridescent blacks - are those of Europe's highest active volcano. An ancient, powerful and feminine divinity: 'the Mountain' as Etna is called by the locals. Sul Vulcano is a declaration of love: a pure wine, with a distinct minerality, that breathes the energy of this unique place in the centre of the Mediterranean. |
