Sicily + Pantelleria

In 2018, I traveled to Western Sicily and explored the food culture and winemaking of one of Italy's most exciting regions. This gallery includes Palermo; Marsala; Agrigento and the Diodoros vineyard; Gorghi Tondi and its seaside vineyards; and the volcanic island of Pantelleria, home to the exquisite sweet wine made from partially dried grapes: Passito di Pantelleria.
