Last June 24, the University of Palermo hosted the event “The frontier of Sicilian vines: biodiversity, climate, innovation”, aimed at researchers, wine professionals and institutions, with the aim of investigating the frontiers of contemporary viticulture.

Added to this is the comment of Dr. Anthony Sparacio, director of the IRVO Research and Experimentation Operations Unit: “A grape variety emerges that is still to be discovered and valorized”.
The day ended with a free tasting of experimental wines.
