This tasting experience is designed for advanced wine lovers and professionals who wish to learn more about grape varieties, winemaking techniques and the identity of Sicilian terroirs , through a selection representative of the production philosophy of Favazza Etna Winery .

The tasting includes 4 glasses , each vinified with a rigorous approach and measured intervention, to enhance the raw material, freshness and expressive precision , without oenological forcing.
