But this isn\u2019t just a question of size. There\u2019s an increasing focus amongst wine producers on quality and, alongside this, a growing appreciation of the distinctive flavours of Sicily\u2019s native grapes. From the bold Nero d&#8217;Avola to the elegant wines of Etna and the renowned Marsala, this content aims to take you on a journey through some of the <\/span><b>best Sicilian wines<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The history of Sicily\u2019s winemaking goes back thousands of years. Wild grapes pre-dated the island\u2019s early Phoenician settlements but they were the first to cultivate the vine. Subsequently, wine production continued under the Greeks and Romans and, following a period of decline through Byzantine, north African and Arab rule, re-emerged and indeed thrived between the 13<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and 18<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> centuries. After a decline in the late 19<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> century due to a phylloxera infection, production bounced back in the 20<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and 21<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">st<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> centuries.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, there are just under <\/span><b>8,000 wine growers in Sicily<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, with more organically farmed grapes grown here than anywhere else in Italy: around a third of the 100,000 or so hectares of vineyards are organic.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3268\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3268\" style=\"width: 966px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3268\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/wine-tour-sicily.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"966\" height=\"644\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/wine-tour-sicily.jpg 966w, https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/wine-tour-sicily-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/wine-tour-sicily-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 966px) 100vw, 966px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3268\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Unique wine-tasting excursions in Sicily<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><b>What makes Sicilian wine so special<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The variety and number of <\/span><b>exceptional Sicilian wines <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">continues to rise, now including 23 DOC\u2019s, around 7% of the total number in Italy.

Its climate, <\/span><b>volcanic terroir<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and seas all play their part in producing a range of incredibly diverse wines, with new and exciting players constantly emerging throughout the island.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5114\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5114\" style=\"width: 966px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5114\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/SICILY-WINE-TOUR-TRIO.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"966\" height=\"644\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/SICILY-WINE-TOUR-TRIO.jpg 966w, https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/SICILY-WINE-TOUR-TRIO-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/SICILY-WINE-TOUR-TRIO-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 966px) 100vw, 966px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5114\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Book a wine tour in one of our Sicilian cantine<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><b>Enotourism in Sicily<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perhaps predictably, this winning combination of tradition, heritage and dynamic progress is increasingly positioning the island as a leading destination for wine tours and experiences, with enotourism in Sicily taking many and various forms.

These are some of Sicily\u2019s best wines.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sicilian Red wine<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nero d\u2019Avola, which produces dark, fruited wine is the most widely planted grape, and one of the best Sicilian red wines. Nerello Mascalese and Frappato, which are often used in blends, are also popular. Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG combines a blend of Nero d\u2019Avola and Frappato.\u00a0 Watch out also for Etna Rosso (a blend of Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio) and from the Messina area, Faro DOC and Mamertino DOC.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sicilian White wine<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Top Sicilian white wines include Etna Bianco, largely based on Carricante, and often blended with Trebbiano and Catarratto, Sicily\u2019s most planted white grape. Grillo is another popular choice.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sparkling wine<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wines from the slopes of Mount Etna also feature highly amongst the list of <\/span><b>top sparkling Sicilian wines<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, with <\/span><b>Etna Spumante DOC<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> leading the way. Sicilia DOC Spumante is a good affordable alternative produced across the island.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dessert wine (Sicilian sweet wines)<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sicily\u2019s sun-drenched slopes and ancient traditions are together responsible for some superb Sicilian dessert wines. Top slot goes to Passito di Pantelleria DOC, produced from sun-dried grapes on Pantelleria, while the volcanic Aeolian islands of Salina and Lipari are famed for Malvasia delle Lipari DOC. In the west of the island, the area around Marsala has produced the historic, fortified wine since the 18<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> century.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5111\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5111\" style=\"width: 966px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5111 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/shutterstock_318738548.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"966\" height=\"644\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/shutterstock_318738548.jpg 966w, https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/shutterstock_318738548-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/shutterstock_318738548-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 966px) 100vw, 966px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5111\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Beautiful Nero D&#8217;Avola grapes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><b>Pairing Sicilian food and wine<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While your choice of wine may depend partly on where you are on the island, what you\u2019re eating will also play its part in delivering a pleasing Sicilian wine and food pairing.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meat and fish<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nerello Mascalese, a red <\/span><b>Etna wine<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and full-bodied Nero d\u2019Avola are the perfect accompaniment to grilled lamb and sword fish, or the traditional aubergine-based \u2018<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pasta alla Norma\u2019<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and \u2018<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">parmigiana di melanzane\u2019<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

Another option is to contrast sweet wines such as Passito di Pantelleria with a salty aged pecorino. A light, floral Inzolia is wonderful paired with a milder, creamy ricotta.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Desserts<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Popular desserts such as cannoli and cassata tend to be creamy and fairly rich and it\u2019s common to pair these with sweet, fortified wines such as Passito di Pantelleria and Malvasia delle Lipari. Light, almond-based pastries are more commonly served with an aromatic Moscato.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3958\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3958\" style=\"width: 966px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3958\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/cannoli-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"966\" height=\"644\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/cannoli-3.jpg 966w, https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/cannoli-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/cannoli-3-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 966px) 100vw, 966px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3958\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Traditional cannoli<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><b>Best wine holidays in Sicily<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So what are the best ways of incorporating wine-based experiences into your holiday?
