On the street outside, a stranger cast a cursory glance in all directions, and finally told us that we had taken the wrong exit from the train station. Little did we realise then, that even upon finding our apartment, it would take us twice as long to settle in. Late evening sunlight slanted in through lace curtains in the studio apartment that was designed to resemble a cottage. The skylight had its own remote control that would gladden the heart of the Quartermaster from the James Bond franchise. There was a sparsely equipped kitchenette with some supplies left behind by previous residents. I opened the bathroom door, and gazed fondly at the feature that had swung our decision in favour of this apartment—a washing machine. Before setting out to buy supplies, we decided to get the washing going, only to discover that the supplies in the apartment included all manner of seasoning and two kilos of salt, but no detergent. Every supermarket we visited that evening sold detergent in quantities that were ridiculously disproportionate to the single load of laundry we intended to run.

The park is the source of many wonderful food products, such as a cheese called the Madonie Provola, a unique bean called the fasola badda (badda bean), and manna, a natural sweetener that is extracted from ash trees. The diversity from the sea to the mountains and the culture of a unique city, Palermo, contribute to a synthesis of the products and the history, of sweet and savoury, of noble and peasant.

  • The Greek Presence in Sicily in Ancient Times, The
    ‘’The Greek presence‘ in Sicily is ancient times’’ THE ANCIENT GREEK TEMPLES When were the temples created? Greek temples in Sicily were built from the 8th century to the 5th B.C. This period is known as ‘’ The period of the colonization’’ Where were the temples built? The temples that Greeks established were built in ‘’The valley of the Greek temples’’ or in the regions ‘’ Agrigento’’ , ‘’ Selinunte’’ , ‘’Segesta’’, ‘’ Syracuse’’. So let’s start presenting the temples The temple of Athena (Syracuse) On the temple of Athena was later built the present cathedral, where the Virgin Mary is worshiped continuously since the 7th century AD. It is a unique complex of limestone Doric portals and "baroque" Renaissance style. Temple in Segesta In Egesta (Segesta) you can admire the Doric temple of the 5th century BC, whose construction was stopped without cause after the completion of the colonnades. Currently standing at charming solitude, on the outskirts of Segesta and contribute valuable information for building arts of the time. In 416 BC Segesta came into conflict with her neighbors from Selinus and in the 415/416 requested assistance to Athenians. The envoys of Athens were so much excited by the magnificent temple and worth that they advocated war against Syracuse and with the enthusiastic speech of Alcibiades the Athenians were destroyed at Porto Grande, Syracuse in 413 BC. The Temple of Concord In Agrigento (Agrigento), the gigantic Doric temple of Concord, which due to its conversion to an early Christian basilica survived almost intact, is one of the impressive buildings that testify the high standard of living, connected with the presence of the colonial Greeks.

  • Santa Cecilia 2008 Now Is DOC Noto
    Santa Cecilia 2008 now is DOC Noto If we imagine Santa Cecilia to be like a ship that has sailed for twelve years to reach Sicily, then here with the 2008 vintage and the new DOC Noto , we can imagine that the ship has found a mooring in the most beautiful and safest harbour that exists; also full of history, appeal and tradition. At last we can use the DOC Noto , thanks to which we can place on the label the name which represents the chosen territory of Nero d’Avola , the noble grape from which this wine is wholly produced. The new disciplinary of the DOC Noto was completed in January 2008 and was created with the intention of uniting the two historic grapes of the area, Moscato di Noto and Nero d’Avola , which between Pachino and the country to the south of Noto have been known for centuries. Two vines that can provide strength to the territory under a single name, DOC Noto. Planeta has always wished for a DOC Noto and has always considered it fundamental to be able to communicate the importance of the territory of origin of their wine. Noto, that today can also boast the prestigious title of a UNESCO Heritage Site. Noto and Nero d’Avola, Noto and the baroque, and Noto and its Passito are a single entity. We are firmly convinced that the DOC Noto and Nero d’Avola will become similar to that of Montalcino and Sangiovese; a unique area, extraordinary and without equal. Santa Cecilia storytelling In 1997 we decided to make wine from nero d’Avola grapes with a small addition of syrah , from our vineyard in Menfi and Sambuca di Sicilia.
