The moderator was Francesca Tamburello of the AIS of Palermo.

“The viticulture of the small islands of Sicily, although representing approximately 1% of the regional viticultural potential, – explains Sparacio – generates particularly valuable wines that are highly appreciated and known on the international scene”. Starting from the Aeolian Islands, passing through Ustica, the Egadi, Mozia, Pantelleria and the Pelagie, Sparacio thus highlighted their importance by focusing on the characteristics of the environments, climate and soil, of the vineyards and cultivated vines.
