Sicilian Wines Only in Sicily, Please

Cin cin! Look at it. Smell it. Taste it. Enjoy it!

Here’s a glimpse at a recent wine tasting I did in Menfi at Mandrarossa Winery. I enjoyed these wines immensely. Sicily is a major grape growing region with many different grape varieties you’ve probably never heard of. These presented here are five grapes for which Sicily is well-known.

I tell my guests and clients before every tour, “I don’t want you ordering Pinot-anything or Chardonnay!” *gasp!* That’s right! I want you to try local Sicilian grape varieties and the wonderful wines that are made here on this beautiful island. You’ll be so happy you did!

Alla tua salute!
