Sicily

Sicily offers everything one could want from a Mediterranean wine region. Incredibly diverse, the island’s warm climate and low levels of rainfall, with constant winds, particularly in the coastal areas, provides the perfect conditions for vine growing, alongside local olives and a stunning range of fruits and vegetables.

For the most part of the twentieth century, this climatic benevolence and a poor economic situation meant that producers tended to push for high yields, turning Sicily in to a centre for bulk wine production. Credit for the rise of Sicily as a quality region must surely go to Etna’s pioneering wine producers, who's hard work over the past twenty years has captured the imagination of the international wine trade. The principal Sicilian grape varieties are Nero d’Avola, Grillo, Catarratto, Caricante, Nerello Mascalese and Frappato. International varieties are also grown.
