Here you can help yourself to the private wine cellar with DOC wines from the Etna Region, including Terre Normanneโs own wines. Like all traditional farmhouses the Tenuta consists of several buildings. The main house is on two floors. In the old days, the owners lived upstairs and on the lower floor, known as Palmento, the wine was made. Several smaller houses were used as shelters for the animals, tools and staff. All of which have now been converted into rooms.
