“Our participation in Vinitaly this year aimed to combine concreteness and vision, through the comparison with the world of research, young people, the market and the environment – comments Camillo Pugliesi, Director of the Consortium –. The events we proposed have told of a dynamic, aware and increasingly cohesive Sicily in promoting a model of sustainable, innovative and quality-oriented viticulture.”

The afternoon of April 8th finally saw the holding of the forum “ Sustainability: the island that exists ”, organized in collaboration with the SOStain Sicilia Foundation , which brought together authoritative voices from the scientific, production and environmental panorama in a concrete and far-sighted debate on the future of winemaking sustainability on the island.
The narration of the Sicily of contrasts was once again entrusted to Filippo Bartolotta, who closed the program with “ From 0 to 1000 ”, an ideal journey through terroir, altitudes and microclimates that make the Sicilian productive identity a unique heritage of its kind.
