The lava of Mount Etna is the greatest fear yet the greatest blessing for people of the Etna area.
As a matter of fact, the lava is also called “the black gold” because of its fertility. After a major eruption, it takes many centuries for the vegetation to flourish again.
When a lot of time has passed, the soils of Mt Etna get a lot of benefits from the minerals contained in the lava. All these nutrients the volcano is sharing with the grapes grown on the lavic area by a lot of winemakers and you will find all of it in every sip of wine you are going to taste.
The outstanding produce of Mt Etna wines is now a prestigious and well-known label all over Europe.
Randazzo is still a little-known destination compared to other cities and famous places in Sicily. Indulge in a stroll through the historic center and savor the delight of breathing clean air. Among the towns near Mount Etna, Randazzo is the closest one to the summit area.
