Various wine events highlighting Sicilian viticulture have taken place in Sicily. In Catania, the fourth edition of ‘Bianchi di Sicilia – Il sole nel calice’ drew a record 2,500 attendees, featuring over 130 wineries and masterclasses on topics such as olive oil and the impact of climate change on wine terroirs.
