History Sicilian Wine Tradition

Sicily is the Italian region with the biggest surface used for growing vines, almost a fifth of the whole Italian surface. Its 118,926 hectares, plus portfolio and new plants, trace out an overall vineyard of over 140 thousand hectares.

When the Greek settled in the island (VIII B.C.), they found a fertile humus in Sicily for their oenological culture. During the 500 years of their permanence on the island, spent in harmony with its inhabitants, they changed the habits of the Sicilians, who became skilled not only in the cultivation of vines, but also in the cultivation of the olive and in the growing of wheat.
