Description

Vineyard tour in Contrada Monte Gorna, after which the young winery is named, surrounded by forests of oak, chestnut and broom trees, which characterize its territory.

The vineyards of Tenuta Monte Gorna, surrounded by mighty terraces of dry stone walls, seem almost to be protected by the majestic silhouette of Etna, which makes the landscape as unique as the soil of the vineyards.

The winery has always cultivated using the method of organic agriculture.

After the tour of the vineyard and winery, a Tasting of 3 wines will follow:

  • Etna white doc
  • Etna red doc
  • Etna red from barrique 

Pairing: eggplant caponata, grilled vegetables, ricotta, cheese, pistachio salami, olives.

Expert's presentation

Tenuta Monte Gorna is a family business dominated by a pure passion for the land and wine, a passion that has been handed down from father to son for three generations. The second generation is responsible for restructuring the estate's land, which has been entirely replanted with vineyards.

To the third generation comes the task of introducing Tenuta Monte Gorna's volcanic wines to the Italian and foreign public, with participation in Vinitaly 2012 and the event dedicated to Sicilian winemakers "under 30" organized by Cronache di Gusto in collaboration with the Regional Institute of Wines and Oils of Sicily, as part of the Verona event.
