We'll admire the vineyards and tour the different facilities along a walkway while we reveal tons of fun facts about the wine-making process. We'll explain all the phases, from the first grape seeds to the final beverage in the barrels, and we'll also reveal what exactly does the volcanic soil of the slopes of Etna brings to the crops and, ultimately, the wine.
