Sicily | White Wine
Sicily, one of Italy's wine boom regions, is still primarily characterized by the cultivation of white grape varieties. More than two-thirds of the vineyard area is planted with white grape varieties, although their share has declined somewhat since the turn of the millennium. In addition to the internationally known grape varieties, a large number of indigenous (autochthonous) grape varieties are also grown on the island.
The most important white grape varieties in Sicily include Grillo, Catarratto, Inzolia, Zibibbo and Carricante. The white wines are united by a measured, balanced and sometimes low acidity, as well as a great fruitiness, which is reminiscent of exotic fruits such as pineapple, banana and passion fruit. - Gerardo
"Sicilian wines used to be known for their richness, but those days are over. Now they are juicy and elegant, because the quality on the sunny island has risen mightily. Whereas the wines once thrilled with their heft, they are now increasingly characterized by finesse. At the same time, the rich tradition of Sicily is not neglected." - Falstaff
