The Winery of Sciaranuova Etna

Located in the heart of the Sciaranuova and Montelaguardia vineyards, the Feudo di Mezzo winery is just south of Passopisciaro. This winery produces six distinct wines from the Etna region, including the renowned Brut Metodo Classico. While only two of these wines are classified under the Etna DOC, the Eruzione 1614 wines come from the Sciaranuova vineyard, situated at an impressive 850 meters above sea level. The name Eruzione 1614 pays homage to the longest eruption in history, which lasted over a decade and shaped the landscape of these vineyards.

The Vineyards of Sciaranuova Etna

The Sciaranuova family is dedicated to nurturing their vines with the finest soil and nutrients found in the northern Etna region, surrounded by ancient lava flows and lush woodlands. Here, the Nerello and Carricante grape varieties thrive, yielding exceptional harvests. At over 800 meters above sea level, the beautifully restored old buildings in the Sciaranuova vineyard serve as a welcoming center for visitors. To the south, the Feudo di Mezzo vineyard features a plantation of Torreguarino, Pietramarina, and Montelaguardia vines, perfect for crafting exquisite white wines. The old terraces at Sciaranuova transform into a vibrant Theatre in the Vineyard, hosting the annual Sciaranuova Festival each summer, celebrating the rich culture and heritage of this unique wine region.

We went for the White Lotus experience. I thought the reception was nice, the people were very friendly, but I thought they didn't serve much wine and the food was just ok. It lasted 2h30 and the wines ranged from 9 to 90 euros.

Miriam, our Sommeleir and host, and Loredana, our chef, did an amazing job looking after us during our visit this week. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience, which although out of season, was still amazing. Miriam is highly competent, passionate about what she does and the beautiful products and property she represents and provided a wonderful insight into wine production and its challenges / positives at the foot of a volcano. Loredana produced delicious food focusing on local, small producers and matched beautifully to the wines we tasted. I would recommend this experience to anyone with a passion for great food, wine and hospitality.

We had the pleasure of visiting Planeta and it was truly an exceptional experience! The tour started with a warm welcome from our knowledgeable guide Myriam, who walked us to the stunning vineyards while explaining the winery’s history and the winemaking process in detail. The tasting was equally impressive. We sampled a diverse selection of wines, each introduced with descriptions of their unique characteristics, pairing suggestions, and the story behind each vintage. The wines themselves were outstanding—complex, balanced, and with distinct notes that showcased the local territory. The locally-made food pairings were the perfect addition to the tasting! The ingredients were fresh and locally sourced, adding to the authenticity of the experience. The food was delicious, with flavors that complemented the wines beautifully. Overall, Planeta exceeded all expectations! We highly recommend this tour for wine enthusiasts or anyone looking for a relaxing day immersed in beautiful scenery, great wine, and incredible food. It’s an unforgettable experience we’d repeat in a heartbeat!

We had a tour, wine tasting, and lunch here. It was all wonderful. The tour was great!! The tour started in the old press mill. The hostess for our tour did a great job. It was full of information on the different Planeta wineries and their different special varietals and soil compositions. We then went outside and she spoke about their vineyard in more detail. The wine tasting was in another building with a great long table that was already set up for us. Everything ran smoothly and we got to try 4 different wines. The accompanying cheese and bread board was delicious. All came from the local area too. The lunch was absolutely delicious. We all enjoyed it very much. Everything on the plate was also locally sourced.
