Like mainland Italy the island of Sicily is a rich tapestry of wine regions making a variety of wine styles from a number of distinctive varieties.
After years with a reputation for ordinary dry and sweet wines Sicily is now producing quality wines from some interesting local varieties. The once-popular Marsala is produced on the western side of the Island.
Some of these varieties are finding their way onto Australia. Nero d'Avola is the most successful of these, but there are also Aussie winemakers using Grillo, and Inzolia.
The map of Sicily is a free sample in PDf format, of De Long's Wine Map of Italy.
The full map shows all of the wine regions throughout Italy. It is available in Digital, Bookshelf (folded), and Wall Poster versions
