2021 Viaggiatore Terre Siciliane, Italy Pinot Grigio

So it is with the wines produced there. Both stylistically and in their aromas and flavors, Sicilian wines are distinctive. They’re identified by the designation “Terre Siciliane” on the labels. “Terre Siciliane” translates as “Sicilian lands,” and it covers the entire Sicilia region — the main island of Sicily and its satellite islands, including the Aeolians.

With distinct climate and soil, and a different take on wines, the vintners of Sicily take pride in crafting truly distinctive and fragrant elixirs. As a result, Sicily has rapidly outgrown its prior reputation for producing bulk wine and built a new reputation for exceptional whites and reds.

And while the reds are good, there is a clear focus on the aromatic white wines of the region. The 2021 Pinot Grigio from Viaggiatore is floral, fruitful and a delicious example of Sicilian style.
