Inspired by his passion for wine and Italian heritage, Robert V. Camuto embarked on a journey to explore Sicily’s emerging wine scene. Over a year of travel, he discovered much more than just wine; he chronicled a vibrant region rich in personality, tradition, and natural beauty. From Palermo to Marsala and the rugged interior to Mount Etna, Camuto captures the essence of Italy’s largest and oldest wine region, revealing the interplay between humanity and nature. Amidst wild landscapes, bustling markets, and deep-rooted cultural rituals, he portrays Sicily at a pivotal moment in history. The narrative delves into the anti-Mafia movement in former mob vineyards near Corleone, shares stories of prominent landowning families, and introduces film and music celebrities drawn to the island’s allure. Wine serves as a powerful metaphor for Sicily’s independent identity, reflecting its journey away from violence, corruption, and poverty towards a newfound freedom, with its rich soul intact. The book encapsulates the spirit of a land that is both mythic and modern, inviting readers to experience Sicily’s unique charm.
