Presentation:

Making wine on Europe's largest active volcano is no easy task. Frequent changes in topography, altitude and climate influence each vintage and each winemaker has his own interpretation of the evolving volcanic landscape. This is part of what makes Etna so exciting. The wines are as attractive as the terrain. For millennia, the mountain has served as the backdrop for the development of Europe. Today, this UNESCO heritage site is a destination for the world. American wine expert Benjamin Spencer goes beyond the vineyards to explore the history and renaissance of the region that is the talk of Sicily.

The author:

Benjamin Spencer is the director of the Etna Wine School. In addition to holding a degree from the London-based Wine & Spirit Education Trust, Ben is a journalist, wine judge, and professional winemaker with two decades of experience working with craft and international wine brands in California and Italy.
