Sicilia DOC Appellation

Protected Designation of Origin (PDO)

The geographical area dedicated to the production of DOC Sicily wine extends throughout the Sicilian territory adequately ventilated, bright and favorable to the fulfillment of all the vegetative-productive functions of the vineyards.
The Production Area of ​​the Sicily DOC Wine is located in the Sicily region and includes the entire regional territory.

During the vinification phases, only loyal and constant oenological practices of the area are allowed, suitable to give the wines their particular quality characteristics.
-The oenological practices of vinification of the DOC Sicilia wine include, among other things, that:
– The maximum yield of grapes in DOC Sicilia wine must not exceed 70% and 60% for the types of Late Harvest Wine; if these parameters are exceeded within the limit of 5%, the excess will not be entitled to the DOC. Beyond these limits the right to DOC for the whole product lapses.
– The DOC Sicilia wine with the mention Riserva must be aged for at least 24 months.
– On the labels of each type of DOC Sicily wine it is mandatory to report the year of production of the grapes.

Sicily is one of the regions with the most ancient winemaking tradition as evidenced by the numerous archaeological finds (fossil ampelolites, amphorae for wine use, coins with Dionysian and uvicle figurations) and the many Greek and Latin literary sources that refer to the renowned Sicilian wines.
The vineyards had great splendor during the colonization of the Greeks (VIII-III century BC), who introduced some vines such as the Grecanico, which has come down to our days. There are depictions of viticultural scenes on the coins as evidence of the region’s developed economic activity linked to wine production.
During the dominion of the Romans (III century BC-V century AD), in particular in the Caesarean age in Gaul the presence of Sicilian wine is attested.
During the domination of the Spaniards (1512-1713), vineyards, olive groves and almond groves increased in the internal territories and, where water was abundant, gardens and vegetable crops were also growing. In the sixteenth century, Tommaso Fazello, in his “De rebus Siculis”, mentions the territory of Aci, the Messina countryside, the plain at the foot of Mount Etna, the Val di Mazara and the plain of Palermo as highly planted areas. Bacci, in his famous “Naturali vinorum historia”, mentions the vineyards at the foot of Mount Erice, those of the territory of Palermo and the island of Lipari, scattered with fertile hills.
The English merchant John Woodhouse opens a winery in Marsala, developing the trade of Marsala wines with England; Benjamin Ingham also opens several factories in Marsala and Mazara; but the foundation of a factory by the entrepreneur Vincenzo Florio contributed in a preponderant way to exalt the development of the Marsala trade.
It is towards the end of the 80s and the early 90s that we can indicate the beginning of the modern history of Sicilian wine. Sicily’s ability to produce quality white wines is consolidated both with native vines such as Inzolia,

Catarratto, Grillo, and with allochthonous vines, such as Chardonnay, Muller Turgau and Sauvignon.
In the nineties the experimentation and production of high quality red wines began with the native Nero d’Avola grape and the allochthonous Cabernet, Merlot, Syrah, Petit Verdot and Pinot nero. The undisputed protagonist of this new course is Nero d’Avola, which even when blended with other international vines manages to characterize and mark the wine itself, not only for the chromatic aspect, but above all because it gives the wine a typicality attributable to flavors Mediterranean.
The DOC Sicilia wine obtained the recognition of the Controlled Designation of Origin on 10 October 1995.

White Grape

Info

The vine Grillo, white grape, is grown in the regions of Puglia and Sicily.
Grillo is a grape variety introduced in Sicily probably from Puglia, probably following the phylloxera invasion in the Marsala area and subsequently in the other provinces of the island. However, the testimonies of Rizzo (1951) document a wide diffusion in the Trapani area as early as the end of 1800.

Wine Characteristics

From the Grillo grape, a straw yellow colored wine with green reflections is obtained; the nose reveals aromatic and citrus notes. On the palate a good freshness is well balanced by an equally good softness.
