Wine Tour Frank Cornelissen, Tenute di Fessina & Tenuta delle Terre Wineries in Mount Etna
Wine Tasting ExperienceTravel on this fantastic tour of a wine tasting experience complete with the genuine flavours of the past, contact with nature and good, Sicilian food.
Three great wineries: Frank Cornelissen, Tenute Fessine Estate and Tenuta delle Terre Nere, 800 metres above Mount Etna!
The Program is:
Pick up at hotel by your English speaking driver.
Drive to Etna North in Castiglione di Sicilia to visit the famous Frank Cornelissen Winery. Frank Cornelissen used to ferment his grapes in amphora but now prefers to use small fermenting bins and then transfer the wine to amphora for aging. Visit and wine tasting.
Afterwards continue to Tenute di Fessina. The heart of the winery beats at 670 meters asl. The vineyards - about 7 hectares - are located between two ancient semicircular lava flows of the past that isolate the vineyard like old walls similar to the French "clos", creating a unique micro-environment.
The estate has developed a project linked to an experiential path, a step dedicated to learning the territory through a set of moments for the conviviality understanding what is path of the cultural heritage of Etna. Visit and wine tasting.
Then move to Tenuta delle Terre Nere , fruit of over 30 years of passion and work in the world of fine wine. And an extraordinary location, as well - this "island within an island" that is the Etna - that my brother and I chose. And that, I sometimes believe, actually chose us. A place where nature is prodigal but also severe. And here I try with all my heart to express as purely as possible the refined and multifaceted microcosm of this ancient volcanic land. With respect, care and hard farm work, always in organic balance.
