Tamashi - Sicilian Premium Gin Format: 70cl Intro: Sicily is one of the most wine-producing regions in Italy, together with Veneto, Emilia-Romagna and Apulia. Sicily's wine-growing traditions are ancient and date back to the Phoenicians, Romans, Greeks and Arabs. Sicily boasts numerous indigenous grape varieties such as frappato, nero d'Avola, inzolia, catarratto, nerello mascalese and nerello cappuccio, malvasia delle Lipari and moscato d'Alessandria (zibibbo, from the Arabic zibib meaning 'a raisin'). Based on the type of grape, we can understand the cultivation area of the various vines mentioned above: Muscat wines, Moscato di Siracusa and Moscato di Noto we find them in the Syracuse area Wines based on Nero d'Avola, Frappato and Ceraselo di Vittoria DOCG are produced in the province of Ragusa Grillo, Grecanico, Catarratto and Inzolia vines are the protagonists of the Alcamo DOC La Malvasia delle Lipari famous Aeolian Islands in the Messina area On the slopes of Etna, considered 'an island within an island' due to the characteristic lava soil and the microclimate that characterises this area, we find Nerello Mascalese, Nerello Cappuccio, for red, rosé and sparkling wines and Catarratto and Carricante for white wines.
