Discover the grape variety: Etraire de l'Aduï

Would be finding its first origins in the valley of Isere, one would have indeed found it in the Mas de l'Aduï in Saint Ismier. We find a certain resemblance with the Persian. Today its multiplication in nurseries is very weak, registered however with the official Catalogue of the varieties of vine list A1 under the name of Etraire de la Dui.

The wine region of Sicily

Sicily is the Southernmost region of Italy, and the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea. For over 2500 years, Sicily (Sicilia in Italian) has been an important centre of Mediterranean viticulture, although the reputation and style of its wines have changed considerably over time. The island was once best known for its Sweet muscatels (see Pantelleria), and later for its fortified Marsala. Today, many of its best-known wines are Dry table wines produced under the regional designation IGT Terre Siciliane, or Sicilia DOC (see below).

The word of the wine: Decanting
