Sicilia en Primeur 2023 Part Two: Icons and Archetypes
By Michael Godel
The 2023 edition of Sicilia en Primeur was held in the second week of May, culminating with tastings, masterclasses and dinners in the extraordinary seaside hilltop village of Taormina. The annual event is made possible by Sicilia DOC, Assovini Sicilia and AB Comunicazione. I spent the better part of five days visiting producers aboard L’Etna, followed by tasting through many more of the mountain’s wines by way of the Assovini and AIS Sommelier assisted table-side service. During the Anteprima one of those absolute masterpieces of a masterclass was held during which 11 of Sicilia’s greatest wines were poured. In addition to those reflections here are my notes on 33 more wines tasted with Feudo Montoni, Azienda Agricola Cos, Serra Ferdinandea, Principe Di Butera and Planeta.
