This is the map for this years “Le Contrade dell’Etna” wine festival. All wineries are color coded according to their location on Etna. Where would you go first?
Monday (tomorrow) is open for those in the business and I got a pass from a friend. As I’m driving, I’ve got to prioritize and get a plan of action. Apart from Cornelissen, where would you go?

Definitely Benanti; and finish with Donnafagata (for the Ben Ryé)
Shame Terre Nere aren’t there.

So many to choose from (just returned home from it today)
Wish I could go to this! Etna is a region I’m still just learning about, but rapidly becoming a favourite. Based on wines I’ve tried at Vinitaly, I’d probably want to revisit Graci and Tenute di Ciclopi. I might visit Cantina Nicosia too, but I’d probably be keen to try smaller producers that are harder to find elsewhere. Will be interested to read others’ suggestions here too.

Tornatore.

Graci, and in case they are there (I can’t see them in the list though), Valenti.

Some recommendations:
Passopisciaro
Federico Graziano
Cusumano
Tasca d’Almerita
Graci
Girolamo Russo should be high on the list.
