As the largest island in the Mediterranean and Italy’s primary wine producing region, Sicily is home to more than 2500 years of winemaking history. The island’s unique terroir (mineral-rich soils, rolling hills, and Mediterranean climate) make it an ideal growing environment for the grapevine. Sicily is a veritable mecca for wine lovers, and an exceptional source of grapes you simply can’t find anywhere else. Red grape varieties account for approximately 33% of Sicily’s total vineyard plantings.
