Nice tips about Sicilian Wines from this article on Prestige On Line:
The sizable island of Sicily at the south-west tip of Italy’s “boot” is a wine region unto itself, one of 20 in Italy, and is considered to produce some of the country’s best. With vineyards mostly on the west and east coasts of the 28,000-square-kilometre island, much of the wine here benefits from excellent climatic and soil conditions, as well as know-how that dates back centuries. We take a look at some of the top producers. Continue reading “6 Top Sicilian Wines You Need To Try”

This Saturday the Italian Food Wine Travel group is off to Sicily for an exploration of the island’s food, wine, history, and culture. Why don’t you join us? We gather (virtually) at 11 am eastern time, following the #ItalianFWT on Twitter. On the first Saturday of each month the group focuses on a particular region of Italy, sharing travel tips as well as food and wine discoveries. It’s always a lively discussion, and I come away inspired to track down a new wine or test a new recipe. Our guide to Sicily will be Martin Redmond, of Enofylz Wine Blog fame, and it’s sure to be a good time! Here’s what’s on tap for the chat:

A very large island off the toe of Italy’s boot, Sicily offers an incredible variety of landscapes, seaside, grapes, and foods. After all, where else in the world do you eat a gelato filled brioche for breakfast?

In Australia, raccontano i vini dell’Etna in questo modo
2013 Cantina Passopisciaro Etna Rosso, Sicily, about $70.
Made from the Sicilian native grape nerello mascalese, a variety that brings to mind a hypothetical cocktail of pinot noir, nebbiolo and a dash of carignan for good measure. The rich volcanic vineyard soils of Etna are on full display with aromas of warm, smoky earth characters combining with mixed Mediterranean spices. The flavours are uncompromisingly savoury, with characters of Italian herbs and minerals and a bright sour-cherry acidity keeping this medium-bodied wine on its toes, notwithstanding its alcoholic strength of 14 per cent. If you enjoy chateauneuf or barolo, give it a try.
