Explore vineyards on the slopes of volcanoes, from Sicily’s smoldering Mt. Etna to Santorini’s ashen cliffs. This episode blends geology and history to show how volcanic earth imparts smoky aromas, fierce acidity, and a “prickly” texture to wines. 

Best enjoyed with a glass of a true volcanic wine (perhaps a fiery Etna Rosso or Santorini Assyrtiko) to taste the literal terroir of lava in your glass.
