Sicily's wines, particularly the Nero d'Avola grape, have transitioned from being primarily blending options to being celebrated for their bold, fruit-forward flavor.
The discovery of wine residues in Monte Kronio cave indicates that Sicily is home to the oldest known winemaking evidence in Europe, dating back to 4,000 B.C.
The ancient Greeks introduced the espalier vine training system to Sicily, a method still prevalent today, along with the cultivation of Nero d'Avola grapes.
With a perfect climate for grape growing, the cultivation of Nero d'Avola successfully expanded well beyond Avola, highlighting Sicily's evolving winemaking focus.
