On this day, last year, I was actually in Sicily and most likely drinking a glass of Nero D'Avola, the star of the show today. Tonight we are tasting the 2016 International Eastern Wine Competition's Silver Award-winning wine from Villa Amoroso. Villa Amoroso is located in Tuscany but the grapes are from Sicily. Nero D'Avola is the most widely grown grape in Sicily which has an IGT classification, which stands for Indicazione Geografica Tipica. It is the 3rd classification out of 4 of the Italian government wine distinctions. This is not a wine that likes to be alone. It is to be enjoyed with spaghetti and meatballs or can be paired with some Mediterranean dishes. You can find a bottle between $12 to $17. Nero D'Avola is full of plum, tobacco, chocolate, and spice, --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/mo-wine/support

While I was in Verona at Wine2Wine, I had the chance to speak with Alessio Planeta, President at Assovini Sicilia and Owner at Planeta Winery. For five centuries and through seventeen generations, Planeta has been active in changing and improving agriculture in Sicily. Alessio Planeta has spent his life dedicated to the study of Sicily and figuring out how to make it a significant force in world wine. With his family, Alessio now has six wineries around Sicily, and they have almost single-handedly put Sicily on the map as a quality player. Planeta continues its mission to show what Sicily can do and what it’s forgotten varietals can bring to the world of wine. They are one of the big reasons we have access to excellent Sicilian wine today. Here are the notes: Alessio tells us about Sicily, the history of his family, and how Planeta evolved to become a significant force in the wine world, putting Sicily on the world wine map of quality We discuss the quality revolution in Sicily, begun, in part by Diego Planeta, Alessio's uncle Alessio tells us about the amazing conditions of Sicily -- the diverse terrain, vast number of native grapes, the skilled workers, the excellent climate, that makes it a garden ideal for viticulture We learn about how the innovative nature of the Planeta family. Alessio discusses their desire to find talent from outside the island (including Giacomo Tachis, Carlo Corino, Giampaolo Fabris and Attilio Scienza) the openness to using "international" grapes, and then the slow introduction of the indigenous wines of Sicily created a category for Nero d'Avola, Grillo, Carricante, Nerello Mascalese and others that is booming! Alessio addresses the fact that people may still underestimate Sicily and talks about the bright future of Sicilian wine Thanks to Wine2Wine Verona for inviting me to speak and for allowing me the opportunity to meet Gaia Gaja and share this show with all of you!

Mit "Süditalien" beenden wir die Rundumschau in der Italienreihe. Der Süden mit der Halbinsel Apulien und der Insel Sizilien packt nochmal so richtig die Hitzekeule aus und beschert uns äußerst kräftige und dunkle Rotweine, die sich auch international einen Ruf gemacht haben. Neben großflächiger Massenproduktion hat das Land allerdings auch wirklich tollen Rotwein zu bieten, der zu guten Preisen gehandelt wird. Es lohnt sich also reinzuhören und ein wenig Weinwissen für den nächsten Einkauf aufzusaugen! Zur Verkostung steht ein leckerer Nero d'Avola von Sibiliana.

Zijn tweets hebben iets van de uitbarsting van de Etna. Je loopt er angstig van weg of blijft er gefascineerd naar kijken. Philip Roose woont en werkt in Sicilië in de schaduw van de grootste actieve vulkaan van Europa. Hij is er exportmanager voor het wijnhuis Nicosia. De wijngaarden op de Etna zijn hot. Letterlijk en figuurlijk. De Etna Rosso wordt wel eens de Bourgogne van het zuiden genoemd. Intens en tegelijkertijd elegant en verfrissend. Zowat alles wat je minder snel associeert met Siciliaanse wijnen zoals de diepe zwoele Nero d'Avola. Al wil Philip over die autochtone druif ook wat misverstanden de wereld uit helpen.We maken trouwens voor één keer een uitzondering op onze baseline en schakelen -heel even- over op het Engels. Philip was namelijk in het gezelschap van Graziano Nicosia. Telg van de vijfde generatie wijnmakers op de lavaspuwende kluit. Graziano is bovendien ondervoorzitter van het Consorzio van de DOC Etna. Zeg maar de belangenvereniging van de kwalitatieve wijnbouwers op de vulkaan. Ontdek zijn verhaal en dat van Philip in een wijncast van meer dan 140 tekens.Wil je zelf het magma in je glas proeven? De wijnen van Nicosia vind je bij Cinoco of Spirits-Wijnen & Co. Nog een laatste aanrader om in hogere Italiaanse sferen te komen: Bella Figura. Het vlotte boek over de laars en zijn eigenzinnige inwoners dat Philip schreef samen met Joost Houtman.

Sicily is know more for than it's beautiful scenery and the Godfather. This island also produces tons of a wine. In fact, it's the three largest producer of wine behind the Veneto and Emilia Romagna regions. In terms of red wine, Nero d'Avola is Sicily's crown jewel of dry, food friendly wines. Brought over over by the ancient Greeks, "Black of Avola" has been a staple of Sicilian wine for centuries and the subject of this episode.
Valle dell'Acate is one of the historical wineries of Sicily and the province of Ragusa. A winery involved since its beginning to the production of wines from indigenous grapes - Nero d'Avola, Frappato, Inzolia and Grillo - it is one of the protagonists of Cerasuolo di Vittoria and Frappato di Vittoria. In 2008 they decided to make a dream from what it promised to be an exceptional vintage: this is how Il Moro Limited Edition 2008 was born, a great wine which makes us believe about a great future for Nero d'Avola made by Valle dell'Acate.
Valle dell'Acate è una delle storiche realtà vitivinicole della Sicilia e della provincia di Ragusa. Da sempre impegnata nella produzione di vini da uve autoctone - Nero d'Avola, Frappato, Inzolia e Grillo - è una delle protagoniste del Cerasuolo di Vittoria e del Frappato di Vittoria. Nell'annata 2008 ha deciso di costruire un sogno su quella che sembrava essere un'annata eccezionale: così nasce Il Moro Limited Edition 2008, un grande vino che lascia immaginare un grande futuro per il Nero d'Avola firmato da Valle dell'Acate.
A variety having uncertain origins, however believed to be originated from Sicily, Nero d'Avola is the protagonist of most of the red wine of this island. A versatile grape, capable of making immediate and direct wines, as well as giving examples of structure and complexity, when vinified in cask and cultivated with quality criteria.
Varietà dalle origini incerte, benché riconosciuta come autoctona della Sicilia, il Nero d'Avola è la protagonista della maggioranza dei vini rossi dell'isola. Uva versatile, capace di produrre vini immediati e diretti, fino ad esempi di struttura e complessità, quando vinificata in botte e coltivata con principi di qualità.
