Sicilia

About this region

Italy's largest island became a DOC in its own right in 2011, promoted from the old island-wide IGT. Nero d'Avola and Frappato lead the reds, Grillo, Catarratto and Inzolia the whites, while Etna's high volcanic slopes have built a separate reputation for taut, ash-driven wines. Marsala remains the classic fortified.
