Sicily

In Sicily, the southernmost island and region of Italy, the wine vine has been cultivated since ancient times with peculiar results, but it is only recently that local production is gaining fame and recognition at national and international level, both for what it concerns red wines as well as whites. The largest production area is located in the western part of the island, in the provinces of Trapani and Palermo, where Marsala, Alcamo and the numerous versions of Contessa Entellina Doc are produced. produces the only Docg in Sicily, Cerasuolo di Vittoria, together with Eloro, Moscato di Noto and Moscato di Siracusa Doc. In the province of Catania, the volcanic soil at the foot of Mount Etna provides the ideal soil for the cultivation of homonymous Doc, while the Faro is produced near Messina. As for the smaller islands, we find Malvasia delle Lipari Doc and Moscato and Passito di Pantelleria Doc.
