About This Wine


Diversi dal Solito

Vermentino

Explore the unique charm of our Diversi dal Solito Vermentino. This light and creamy wine encourages you to venture beyond the ordinary and savor something new. Its enticing floral aromas, tropical fruit notes and soft textures are a friendly introduction to this lesser-known grape variety. Vermentino is a white grape native to Italy. Celebrated by locals, it can range from crisp, aromatic styles similar to Sauvignon Blanc to richer and fuller styles that have seen oak contact. Sicily's vineyards benefit from a Mediterranean climate, featuring abundant sunshine and refreshing breezes from the surrounding seas. We encourage you to embrace island life and enjoy this wine as the locals do alongside creamy pasta or seafood. Scroll through the image carousel above to learn more about this wine.

Wine Region


Sicily / Sicilia

Even among Italy's diverse wine regions, Sicily offers something unique. Abundant sunshine, varied volcanic terroirs, cool coastal breezes and drying African winds make it a perfect place for growing vines. The island is home to many indigenous grape varieties, featuring reds such as Sangiovese, Nero d'Avola and Frappato, and popular white varieties including Vermentino, Catarratto and Zibibbo. As the largest island in the Mediterranean, Sicily's position between Europe, Africa and the Levant has long made it a strategic location. The Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Normans and Arabs have all at various times controlled Sicily, and left their mark on its 4,000-year-old winemaking tradition.
