Discover the grape variety: Malvoisie de Toscane

It was cultivated in ancient times and is believed to be of Greek origin. In Italy, associated with Trebbiano Toscano, it was used to produce the famous Chianti: these two white varieties are no longer part of the vineyard. In France, Tuscan Malvasia is practically unknown. It should be noted that many grape varieties have "malvasia" as a synonym, so confusion between them is always possible.

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: Wiring
