Tendencies

Again Nero D’Avola is still a concours favorite. This red wine variety never seems to tire. With 15 golden medals red still dominates.

Noteworthy is the success of grillo among the white wines. More than a surprise that is rather a confirmation. 7 gold medals went to Sicilian whites

What comes as a surprise is the advancing success of organic wine. Sparkling wine continues to confirm its place on the global market.

Concours favorite: G. Milazzo

An extraordinary success for winery Milazzo. They are the only Italian winery to receive two grand gold medal for two different wines.

The Campobello di Licata based azienda won with the sparking Federico II Rex, a classic brut.. The other grand gold medal went to Selezione di Famiglia Bianco Grande Cuvée 2008. They received another seven gold medals.
