Sicily's longest-running Etna wine festival, entirely dedicated to Etna Bianco Superiore DOC — a designation confined by regulation since 1968 to Milo specifically, out of every town on the volcano. Over two-plus weeks the historic centre and local wineries host tastings, masterclasses, and food pairings; past editions have drawn major Italian musicians including Franco Battiato and Lucio Dalla.
