Blog: Sicily | Wine region
These are real thoroughbred wines, this Etna bianco or Etna rosso, for example, or the clear golden-yellow Marsala, which exudes the scent of a hundred flowers. Like the wines, like the people - the Sicilians are also full-blooded and spirited, and in the knowledge of their 'culinary stamina' they have created a cuisine to go with their wines, which is literally given over to artful recipes. Maccheroni con le sarde' is spaghetti with a strong and complex sauce of pine nuts, fennel, many herbs and olive oil, seasoned with anchovy pieces, or 'Farsumagru" - rolled beef or veal stuffed with boiled eggs. Cuscusu', the typical fish soup with pasta, and among the desserts the world famous cassata of course. Truly, such sumptuousness lays the safe ground even for the strongest wine! - Gerardo [TS01/23]
"We would like to clarify here once from the outset: The Sicilian wine par excellence does not exist. Although the wine boom of recent decades gave the Sicilian labels crosswise a good reputation, but was mostly enough for the 'convenient' draught horse of the Geographical Indication of Origin (IGT) Sicily. Everything had found a place in this huge pot. Under the term 'southern wines', all the wine-growing zones delivered hyper-concentrated, alcoholic hummers, some of which seemed so jammy that you could almost spoon them out of the glass. There are an incredible number of different production areas in Sicily, all of which have their own forms of expression. If they actually brought them to light, the region would be one of the most sought-after wine zones in Italy anywhere." - Slow Wine
