More on the wine
Two of the biggest wine phenomena of recent times, pinot grigio and Prosecco, came out of Italy, and we believe it is the country most likely to be behind the next big wine trend too. Our spotlight is on southern Italian whites. We chose to work with Planeta, pioneers in Sicily, and founding members of SOStain, (the Sicilian sustainability certification). They were instrumental in getting a glass manufacturer to return to the island and have been influential in highlighting the importance of biodiversity in vineyards. We have always been impressed with Sicily's whites, which retain such good acidity, nerve and tension, despite the increasingly warm summers and its southerly location. Vines here are already well-adapted to heat and drought, shutting down when the temperature rises. The heat is also mitigated by cooling sea breezes and planting at altitude.
