Sardinia and Sicily
In the Mediterranean Sea, the Italian islands of Sicily and Sardinia have a Mediterranean climate. High-altitude vineyards located on both islands are the preferred vinicultural sites due to their large diurnal range which protects acidity and balances out the fruit ripeness. Find native grape varieties such as Cateratto and Grillo here and Nerello Mascalese, Frappato and Nero D’Avola for reds.
