Sicily | Page 2

Sicily, the largest island in the Mediterranean, is one of Italy's most fascinating and dynamic wine-producing regions, thanks to its warm climate, volcanic soils and long wine tradition dating back to ancient times. The diversity of the Sicilian territory, from the sunny coasts to the inland mountains, allows the cultivation of a wide range of local and international grape varieties.

The island's most representative grape is Nero d'Avola, known for its intense and structured red wines with notes of red fruits, plums, spices and a slight chocolate tinge. Another important indigenous grape is Grillo, used to produce fresh and aromatic white wines, often with citrus, floral and salty notes, reflecting the influence of the sea.

Sicily is also famous for Marsala, a fortified wine produced in the province of the same name and renowned for its complexity and depth. Etna, Europe's highest active volcano, produces unique wines, including Etna Rosso and Etna Bianco, made from Nerello Mascalese and Carricante respectively, which express the minerality of the volcanic soils.

The region continues to evolve, combining tradition and innovation to produce wines of great character and quality.
