The Sicilia DOC Consortium will also be at the 56th edition of Vinitaly, scheduled from 14 to 17 April 2024.
We will be at stand G84 inside Pavilion 2 Sicily. We will be there to present and promote the rich Sicilian wine heritage through tastings and in-depth, informative discussions.
Again this year, we will be giving top prominence, via dedicated meetings, to the flagship vines, Nero d’Avola, Grillo, and Lucido. However, this year, we will be focusing our attention above all on our special projects, in particular Bi.Vi.Si . (Enhancement of Sicilian viticultural biodiversity), V.I.S.T.A., (Innovative and Sustainable Enhancement of the Terroirs of Native Varieties) and Germplasm.
