About the Winery: Tenuta Monte Gorna
Meet the Licciardello family, owners of a little gem of a winery located at the feet of Etna volcano some 720 meters above sea level, where the vines enjoy excellent climate with warmth during the day and cooler temperatures at night, a perfect balance for growing great Nerello Mascalese, Nerello Cappuccio and Catarratto grapes.
With only 4 hectares of vines all handpicked and organic, Tenuta Monte Gorna produces around 22,000 bottles a year which, in the world of wine, is very little! Their excellent Etna wines have a very distinctive minerality and beautiful aromas that will conquer even the most discerning wine connoisseur.
