Sicily

In a constant tussle with Puglia to win the title of largest volume produced each year, the wines of Sicily are as varied as its history. Delicate whites, full bodied reds and of course Marsala show the variation in climate and abilities of the various regions within the Island. The fame of Marsala wine is due mainly to the British, who had already traded in Port, Madeira and Sherry products. In 1773 they docked in Marsala where they tasted this “nectar”. It was love at first taste.  By using similar production techniques to the other sweet wines, a new product appeared on the market. This was the beginning of Marsala’s global adventure.

Passito di Pantelleria

Made from Zibibbo (Muscat of Alexandria) grown on the island of Pantelleria in the Trapani province of Sicily. The grapes sun-dry and the wine is lightly fortified. The wine is concentrated and sweet with a nice kick of alcohol.

Zibibbo

Commonly called Muscat of Alexandria. An ancient vine, one of the oldest, in fact, that grows all over the world. Useful in the production of table grapes and raisins it is also made into wine in: Samos, Greece, Malaga, Spain, Pantelleria, Italy, Beaumes de Venice, France. Above all, it gets high sugar and acid which makes it a wonderful grape for sweet wines.
