There are over 200 different grape varieties used in modern wine making (from a total of over 1000). Most lesser known blends and varieties are traditional to specific parts of the world.

Winemaking on Mount Etna, along Sicily's eastern coast, benefits from volcanic soil, high elevation, and diverse microclimates. The result is distinctive wines known for their mineral character and freshness. Dominated by Nerello Mascalese grapes, the region combines tradition with innovation in winemaking, protected by its Denominazione di Origine Controllata (DOC) designation.
