December 2025 - Sicily
Featured in our Wine Stations
According to legend, Dionysus (ancient Greek god of wine, winemaking, grape cultivation, fertility, ritual madness, theatre, and religious ecstasy.) brought joy and wine to Sicily. But the legend aside, it is a fact that wine has been produced for thousands of years in Sicily.
Its dry, warm climate features regular sunshine and moderate rainfall that suits wine production. Arid conditions reduce the chance of rot and mildew, especially in areas kissed with coastal breezes. This makes Sicily a prime candidate for organic farming. Olives, citrus and grains drive the agricultural sector beyond wine.
Over the last 20 years, Sicily's wine culture has seen tremendous changes. A new generation of producers is exploiting the full potential of the enviable island climate, local grape varieties, and fertile soil. With now 112,700 hectares of vineyards is the island of Sicily, which also includes the volcanic island of Pantelleria in the southwest and the northeastern Aeolian Islands, the largest wine region in Italy. Sicily wine region has been investing in sustainable production methods for more than 20 years. The island is now in the lead in Italy: 83% of the vineyards processed by Assovini producers are organic.
