Sicilian Wines are becoming increasingly recognized for quality, versatility and their accessible price point. The region's native grapes have taken the world by storm with varietals such as Nero d'Avola, Grillo, Nerello Mascalese, and Insolia. Sicily's viticulture has proven to be one of the island's main assets and treasures, catalyzing the energy of the territory outside its boundaries.
Cantine Ermes is one of southern Italy's major co-ops. Its headquarters are in Gibellina, close to the west coast and a large, productive area on Mt. Etna. The co-op is an example of Sicily's upward trend in wine and its capabilities to lend itself to grow both native and European vines.
