Sicily, Italy

Sicily produces some of Italy’s most dynamic wines, from Etna Rosso (Nerello Mascalese) with volcanic minerality to Nero d’Avola and Frappato from Val di Noto. Coastal breezes, high-altitude slopes, and diverse soils give reds and whites balance, depth, and a true sense of place. Indigenous varieties like Grillo and Carricante shine alongside historic fortified Marsala. Leading producers such as Planeta, COS, Benanti, Arianna Occhipinti, and Tasca d’Almerita showcase the island’s range, combining power, elegance, and terroir-driven character.
