Sicily

Sicily is characterized by a slew of microclimates, but the overall climate conditions are ideal for grape growing. The weather is sunny and warm year-round, and salty sea breezes naturally ventilate grape clusters, making the need for herbicides and pesticides basically obsolete. Sicily is home to a plethora of honest and hardworking winemakers. Be sure to sip the wines of Arianna Occhipinti, Eduardo Torres Acosta, Benanti, and Girolamo Russo for a taste of our top picks.
