Rustic no more: let's drink to Sicilian wine
Briefly

Sicilian wine, with a history dating back thousands of years and influenced by various ancient civilizations, has undergone a transformation in the past three decades. Previously associated with bulk production, the industry now emphasizes quality and unique native grape varieties like Nero d'avola, known for its rich flavors, and aromatic selections such as Nerello mascalese and frappato. On the white wine side, cataratto leads in vines, while carricante and grillo contribute to the production of the famous Marsala wine. This evolution marks a significant turn for Sicilian wines in global markets.
Sicilian wine has evolved significantly over the past 30 years, shifting from bulk production to a focus on excellence and unique native grape varieties.
Nero d'avola, the most planted red variety, offers bold, dark-fruited wines, while the elegant Nerello mascalese and frappato add a sprightly aromatic profile.
