Sicily is part of Italy’s ancient winemaking traditions, yet this island in the Mediterranean Sea is also producing some of the country’s most modern and exciting wines. For many years Sicilian wine was destined to be sold in bulk or used to make the fortified dessert wine. Today, quality Sicilian wines are the region’s focus, with an emphasis on grape varieties that thrive in the island’s hot weather and volcanic soils.

Some of Sicily’s best wines, like the rich, red Nero d’Avola and the crisp white Grillo, are made with native grapes.

Sicily has abundant warmth and sunshine, providing near perfect conditions for grapevines. The red wines from Southern Italy are richly fruited with soft smooth tannins.  Perfect for the approaching winter months.
