Between 500 and 1400 metres altitude, one can find marked areas for wine making and the vineyards which represent the oenology of Etna.
It is exactly in these vineyards that one can find the oldest Controlled Original and Named Sicilian Wines (D.O.C.), established in 1968.
But the connection between the volcano and wine goes back to ancient times: findings of vine roots on Etna
takes us back to the end of the Neolithic Age and the beginning of the Metal Age, that is, about 4 or 5 millennium ago.
Probably this was a wild vine, which was then cultivated following the arrival of the Mediterranean population who settled on the island.
In fact, we owe the Phoenicians and later the Greeks for the introduction of the new systems of cultivation and production of wine, which was then commercialized throughout the Mediterranean.
