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.

The Cupole Trinoro Estate - Franchetti
Discover the Tuscan Bordeaux wine Le Cupole by Franchetti Wines, the second wine of Trinoro Estate. A blend of four Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot grape varieties, Le Cupole is an exuberant red wine, rich in ripe fruit and extracted tannins. Due to the cold the grapes ripened late and for this reason the wine obtained has a less dense body than other vintages but is fresher.
