Wines Sicilian

Many grapes are made into raisins, used in local cooking, and Sicilian grapes also play a large role in creating dessert wines, which require a higher concentration of grapes and are consumed in smaller quantities. In fact, in the world of international wine, Sicily is renowned for the many outstanding dessert wines, such as the world-famous Marsala, Moscato di Pantelleria & Malvasia delle Lipari. 

The traditional varieties cultivated on the island include: red grape varieties such as Nero d'Avola (today experiencing a significant renaissance in the market), Nerello Cappuccio and Mascalese, Carricante, Nocera, Perricone and Frappato; white grape varieties such as Catarratto, Grecanico, Grillo, Inzolia, Malvasia delle Lipari and Zibibbo or Moscato.
In addition to the traditional varieties listed above, today there are numerous non-traditional varieties grown on the island which include: red varieties such as Cabernet-Sauvignon, Syrah, Pinot Noir, Petit Verdot, Sangiovese, Cabernet Franc and Merlot; white varieties such as Chardonnay, Viognier, Muller Thurgau and Sauvignon blanc.

Marsala Vergine DOP Tenute Orestiadi
Marsala Vergine DOC Tenute Orestiadi
Marsala Vergine DOP is the result of centuries of history and a manual harvest of white berried grapes. It is aged 5 years in oak barrels. A Sicilian wine for meditation and with long unexpected taste characteristics.
It belongs to the ''Terra Nera'' category on the hills of the Trapani hinterland, an ideal habitat for the cultivation of both red and white grape vines.
Marsala Vergine has a golden yellow color tending towards amber. The bouquet is as complex and intriguing as its history, made up of work in the fields and peregrinations by sea, the scent of contaminations and perspectives, of shared rituals and dreams come true.
