Sicily

Sicilian wine territory is now considered a true continent, thanks to its pedoclimatic variability and rich biodiversity. It is located in the center of the Mediterranean and in the so-called "northern sunbelt," an area between the 30th and 50th parallels north and the 30th and 40th parallels south, where the best conditions of brightness and temperature for vine cultivation are found.

On the smaller islands, given the high temperatures and windy conditions, the typical training system is the "alberello" and its "mixed" versions (for example, on the island of Pantelleria), as well as the "Tendone" system. In the rest of Sicilian territory, however, more than half of the vineyards use espaliers and contre-espaliers. In Sicily, wines with a long history are born, such as Marsala, but also fragrant dessert wines like Passito di Pantelleria and Malvasia delle Lipari, not to mention Moscato di Noto and numerous robust red wines and interesting white wines. There's also Nerello Mascalese, climbing the slopes of Mount Etna.

Messina

The province of Messina is known for its significant wine production. It hosts four of Sicily's twenty-three Denominations of Origin (DOC), as well as the Salina IGT, dedicated to wines produced in the Aeolian Islands.

1. Faro DOC: Centered around the city of Messina, this DOC is renowned for its red wines, primarily made from Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio, sometimes enriched with a small percentage of Nocera. The vineyards are located on hilly terrain, with a climate similar to that of Mount Etna but on hills rather than a single mountain.

2. Mamertino di Milazzo DOC: Located in northeastern Sicily, it takes its name from the city of Milazzo and the Capo di Milazzo peninsula. This DOC produces both red and white wines, using varieties such as Nero d’Avola and Catarratto for reds, and Grillo and Inzolia for whites. The wines have a traditional, distinctly Sicilian style.

3. Malvasia delle Lipari DOC: Encompasses wines from the Aeolian Islands, a volcanic archipelago off the northeastern coast of Sicily. The white wines are primarily based on Malvasia Bianca, sometimes with the addition of Corinto Nero.

4. Sicilia DOC: Established in 2011 to promote and preserve Sicily's native grape varieties, this denomination evolved from the previous Sicilia IGT of 1995.

These regions offer a variety of wines that reflect the richness and diversity of Sicilian viticulture, from coastal and volcanic areas to the interior hills.

Lasagna with Ragù

Lasagna is a classic dish of Italian cuisine composed of layers of pasta, béchamel sauce, ragù, and cheese, usually Parmesan or mozzarella. When prepared with care, lasagna presents a balance between the softness of the pasta, the creaminess of the béchamel, and the richness of the ragù. This dish is a comforting delight, suitable for all seasons and perfect for sharing with family and friends.

To pair wine with lasagna, a full-bodied and structured red wine is recommended, such as a Chianti Classico or Sangiovese. The complexity and robustness of the wine can balance the richness of the dish, while the acidity and tannins of the wine complement the flavor of the tomato in the ragù. Similarly, a creamy and rich white wine, such as a slightly aged Chardonnay, can also be an interesting choice, offering freshness that contrasts with the creaminess of the béchamel and cheese.

Roast Pork with Marsala

A Sicilian cuisine second course, oven-baked or cooked in a pot. A "festive" dish simple to prepare and very tasty, tender, and succulent.
