Friends and guests who have been to the American southwest or Mexico often notice the proliferation of Prickly Pear cactus around Mount Etna. While it appears endemic to the area, the edible, fruiting cactus is an import. It started to arrive on the island during Spanish rule, at the end of the fifteenth century.
.
But why?

One of the many things people rarely speak about is cleanliness in the winery.
.
Before, during and after fermentation, it’s crucial to keep spillage to a minimum. Juice (must/mosto) inevitably finds a way into strange places. Wine tanks and barrels frequently degas. Small amounts of sugar and ethanol seep out of cracks, gaskets, and valves. .
Water works. So do chemicals – bases and acids – but high-pressure steam is a great way to clear residues that attract flies and incubate bacteria.
.
Good work @pietradolce !

Mount #Etna is a #volcanic terroir with dynamic changes in elevation, soil, and weather.
.
In this one photo we see rainclouds interrupted by intense sunlight; the fertility of the soil and the lignification of the vines; the sloped terrain broken up into workable terraces; and the small hill at the edge of the vineyard, which is the tail of a #lava flow born 4k years ago.
.
Nothing about #MtEtna is ‘simple’ but the wines made here are infinitely approachable and exciting. Not only for how they smell and taste and pair with a range of international cuisine, but for the stories they tell.

We are proud to make so many sacrifices to safeguard the traditions and natural heritage of Etna 🌋 Remember these images when you taste our wine, it will not taste the same. Ours is not just a wine

The first snows of #winter on #Etna ... Let the ❄️⛄️🎿🏂🛷 season begin. The best #wintersport resort is around #pianoprovenzana, on the #volcano’s high northeast slope. Runs can be accessed once the #snow has built enough of a base. That base depends on cool temps and rainy weather. We’ll keep our 🤞🏻 it’s gonna be a great season for riding.

When I think of #Etna at sunset, this is what I ‘see’ ... Thanks to @barone_beneventano for this incredible photo!

L' #alba a #Carpene, un arcobaleno di colori. Il sole che irradia fin dal mattino il vigneto e la brezza del mare che lo accarezza, questo è il nostro segreto.

‪I woke up this morning to news of an #earthquake at 3am. Then, while I was on a walk, #Etna erupted. #nothingtofear It’s just another #freshsoil delivery in #Sicily. Note the #moon 🌖 hanging out above the #volcano.‬

These delicate pink #lilies are a beautiful reminder that everything we do on #Etna is in time with #nature.
•
The flower blooms every year from the September through the first weeks of October. Not only is it an omen of the harvest, the color of this Etna lily is also the perfect color for #EtnaRosato.

Great share from @terracostantino •
