Sicily | Red Wine
Sicily - a continent in itself. Unique and charming: the landscapes, the history, the culture and the people. Beach vacationers are just as enthusiastic about the diverse island as amateur archaeologists and nature lovers. In addition, a multicultural cuisine as well as a young wine scene. The island was once one of the most important colonies of Greece and accordingly long there is already a wine tradition here. From the 7th century BC there are numerous findings that indicate a lively cultivation. But the French influence at the beginning of the 10th century, when the Bourbons ruled Sicily, was probably more important. Today, Sicily is considered one of the most dynamic cultivation areas in Italy, with structural changes not older than 10-15 years. Since then, some farms have emerged that have known how to take advantage of the existing potential.
Among the most cultivated Sicilian red grapes are Nero d'Avola, Frappato, Nerello, Syrah and Cabernet. - Gerardo [TS07/22]
"With its output of more than six million hectoliters, Sicily is responsible for 13 to 14 percent of Italy's total wine production and ranks fourth among wine-growing regions. However, there is no need for figures to highlight the position of the island in wine production: The success of its growths in Italy and on the export market is an incontrovertible fact. In little more than two decades, the image of Sicilian products has changed radically." - Gambero Rosso
