Sicilia

The largest island in the Mediterranean, Sicilia is a true crossroads of wine - a place where Greek, Arab and Norman civilisations have all passed through and left their mark.

At its heart stands Etna, an active volcano that still sends smoke into the sky. On the black lava soils of its slopes, at altitudes reaching a thousand metres, old vines of Nerello Mascalese take root and give reds of such finesse and quiet nobility that the mountain has earned the name Burgundy of the Mediterranean.

In the west, indigenous Nero d'Avola and Grillo ripen richly under the sun and the Marsala tradition lives on. Nowhere else does a single island hold so many distinct personalities at once.

Honed alongside an island table of tuna and sardines, citrus and herbs, these are wines that combine real power with striking clarity.

Discover where Sicilia stands today, shaped by its volcano, its sea and three thousand years of history.
