About Sicily

Sicily, the biggest island in the Mediterranean, is unsurprisingly rich in history and traditions. Sicilian cuisine is the expression of the culinary art developed since ancient times, and is closely linked to the historical, cultural and religious events of the island. Cooking traditions originating from the Greeks, Arabs and Normans blend with those from Spain and North Africa, resulting in a fabulous melting pot of Mediterranean flavours and unique dishes. Some of the delicacies from the region include arancini, cannoli, pistacchio di bronte, almonds and all things citrus. The dry, warm climate and copious sunshine are perfect for viticulture, where fruity, medium-bodied red wines made from nero d’avola, and juicy, peachy white wines made from grillo, are most prolific. Other varieties include frappato, nerello mascalese, carricante,  catarratto, inzolia, nerello cappuccio, alicante, syrah and moscato.
