Assovini Sicilia's flagship annual event, held in Palermo, brings together over 100 Sicilian producers to present new vintages to international press and trade buyers. The format mirrors Bordeaux en primeur: barrel samples and current-release wines are tasted simultaneously, and the association publishes a vintage character assessment for the island. Trade and press credentials are required for full access.
Tip: The walk-around tasting on the second day is the best opportunity to compare Etna, Nero d'Avola, Cerasuolo di Vittoria and Grillo side by side. Book accommodation early as hotel space in central Palermo during the event is limited.
