The province of Catania and the Etna villages are the land of the oldest Sicilian agricultural civilization; the first testimonies of agricultural communities refer to the Neolithic. This part of eastern Sicily was the first to be colonized by the Greeks (729 BC) and in the eighth century. BC already knew wine and perhaps also the vine. In the fifth century. BC this area was heavily planted, as evidenced by some mountains of the time that have come down to us.
In the third century. AC Theocritus speaks of the great diffusion of the vineyard on the slopes of Etna; subsequently viticulture had a period of decline, and then recovered from the thirteenth century. DC onwards. In the 16th century Fazello praised the wines produced at the foot of Etna and in the 18th century Arnolfini spoke of the wine of Mascali, which was exported to Malta.
In 1848, almost 26,000 hectares of vineyards were cultivated. In 1869 G. Gregorio mentions the renowned wines of the County of Mascali (XVIII-XIX century), an ancient territory on the slopes of Etna, located between the current Giarre and Mascali and those of the upper area of ​​the foothills of Etna.
Between 1880 and 1885 Catania was the Sicilian province with the most vineyards with over 90,000 hectares of vineyards; but the phylloxera invasion in the early 1900s caused a serious crisis in viticulture; the hectares of vineyards dropped to about 40,000 hectares.
The reduction of the vineyard area over the years is due to the frequent eruptions of Etna and the objective difficulties of a difficult viticulture, so-called “heroic”, where the vineyards are largely terraced due to the steep slopes and where the cultivation operations are difficult to mechanize and, therefore, involve very high costs. But, despite these “difficulties”, Etna viticulture over the centuries has always maintained a very important role of cultivation for the territory, with the production of high quality wines up to today.

Recent history is characterized by a positive evolution of the denomination, with the planting of new vineyards, the birth of new companies, the professionalism of the operators who have contributed to increasing the quality level and the fame of the DOC “Etna”, as evidenced by the national and international recognition of the “Etna” DOC wines produced by the companies in the geographical area of ​​reference. It was the first Sicilian DOC to be recognized and one of the oldest in Italy. The disciplinary has been modified, with the introduction of the sparkling wine type, in the white and rosé version, and of the red reserve.
The Etna DOC wine obtained the recognition of the Controlled Designation of Origin on 11 August 1968.
