Sicily food and wine tours: Nebrodi

The Nebrodi mountains are a zip of mountains belonging to the Italian Appenine, born 1 million years ago, detached from the Etna territory. They are still crossed by an abundant net of rivers. Here start their routes the Alcantara river by Floresta, the Naso river by Sinagra, the Simeto river in Novara di Sicilia which then arrive to Catania, in an unmissable Sicily food and wine tour.

Water fosters wildlife which live amongst uncontaminated century-old woods and forests. Here the black pigs, the boars, the falcons, griffons, the porcupines, donkeys, horses, foxes and more still enjoy freedom.
