To be sure, this is no easy task, evaluating something which at the moment has only seven months of life. The future needs to be projected into, a judgment on how the wines will be in five, ten, twenty years is needed, and it is a very large responsibility. A large competence is needed, and much experience as well, along with an ability to judge and forsee the future the wines\u2019 capability to develop and improve: the wine together with the person who created it. Because, in the final analysis, the two things are one. To think about a wine as though it were immortal is a quality which only a few producers possess. Given these premises, the answer is, and will remain, in the glass itself. Therefore, let\u2019s go to work.<br \/>\nFirst of all, 100 journalists of the world\u2019s wine press from all of the globe, along with 50 Italians, will come to discover this vintage.

Not exactly an insignificant number because, let\u2019s keep it in mind, Sicily has Italy\u2019s largest area under vine. A large task awaits.<br \/>\nThe experts will be inspired by a trip through eight different zones of Sicily, eight tours to discover the territory and the characteristics of its soil and climate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sicilia en Primeur 2016, welcome to the future!
