San Lorenzo
San Lorenzo is one of several Italian place names that can appear in wine geography, so this entry uses an Etna-specific slug. On Etna, the contrada name points to volcanic soils, elevation, and site identity within the DOC. Wines may emphasize Nerello Mascalese red fruit, flowers, smoke, and tannin, or Carricante citrus, salt, and stony acidity.
Notable Rules
Contrada San Lorenzo is a named origin inside Etna DOC. The package slug adds -etna for clarity and collision avoidance.
