Deep Dive: Sicily

  • Le Midi 2108 West Division Street Chicago, IL, 60622 United States (map)

After the incredible response to last month's Piedmont tasting, we thought there was no better place to continue our Italian journey than Sicily. Join us as we explore an island where ancient vineyards, volcanic soils, coastal breezes, and thousands of years of winemaking history come together to produce wines unlike anywhere else. Despite its warm Mediterranean climate, Sicilian wines are known for remarkable freshness and elegance thanks to its dramatic elevations, diverse terroirs, and the cooling influence of the surrounding sea.

Throughout the evening, we'll travel across the island tasting a lineup that showcases the remarkable diversity of Sicily's indigenous grape varieties. Expect vibrant whites built around Carricante, Catarratto, and Grillo, alongside expressive reds featuring Nerello Mascalese, Frappato, and Nero d'Avola. Whether you're already a devotee of Italian wine or just beginning to explore beyond the classics, this promises to be one of our most exciting and educational tastings of the season!
