CT Trip Overview
Tenuta Monte Gorna is a family business driven by a pure passion for the land and for wine, a passion handed down from father to son for three generations. The second generation is credited with restoring the family-owned land, which they entirely replanted with vines. The mission of the third generation is to raise awareness about the volcanic wines of Tenuta Monte Gorna among Italian and foreign consumers through their participation in Vinitaly 2012. The company also took part in the event dedicated to “under 30” Sicilian winemakers organised by the publication Cronache di Gusto in collaboration with the Regional Institute of Sicilian Wines and Oils, as part of the same event held in Verona.
