The Winery Today
Who we are
Located on the fertile northern slopes of Mount Etna, the Tornatore winery boasts 100 hectares of lush land, with the largest expanse of vineyards in the Etna Doc area, olive groves and hazelnut orchards. Representing Sicilian excellence and tradition, our winery cultivates native varieties in historic districts, combining traditional methods and modern technology to produce superior wines. Our passion for wine is reflected in every bottle, celebrating the uniqueness of Etna’s terroir.
Our roots
Since 1865
AT THE FOOT OF THE VOLCANO
Territory
Making wine under the Volcano is not easy, yet for those who succeed, it is the most rewarding thing there is. The Tornatore winery stands on the fertile northern slope of Mount Etna, whose lands, caressed by significant temperature ranges due to the proximity of the Nebrodi Mountains, are home to vines that sink into a unique terroir, shaped by the activity of Europe’s highest volcano. The magical combination of terroir, climate and production wisdom makes Etna’s northern slope an ideal area for the production of unique wines of exceptional complexity and sensory richness.
OUR VALUES
Sustainability
For us, sustainability is not a “trendy” sticker to flaunt, but a commitment. More: a natural choice of love. We love our land and do everything, from using respectful agronomic practices to using only renewable energy in the winery, to deliver it intact to future generations.
The VIVA (Assessment of the Impact of Viticulture on the Environment) and SOStain (Save Our Soil) certifications gratify our efforts, attesting to our environmental sustainability, activities in terms of biodiversity, land preservation and enhancement, and socioeconomic impact.
