Assovini Sicilia is the association of Sicilian winemakers that brings together over 91 wine companies to promote the quality of Sicilian wine around the world.  What links our members is love and passion for Sicily, and an awareness that the Sicilian wine territories represent unique value in the Italian, European and international wine markets.

At Assovini Sicilia, small, medium, and large companies coexist and operate – regardless of size. Each member, with its own profile and entrepreneurial history, contributes to the achievement of common objectives to strengthen the “Assovini Sicilia” brand as a full expression that unites our history, territories, grape varieties, and terroir.

Assovini Sicilia, in collaboration with its partners, is committed to:

• Make Sicilian wine and its distinctive characteristics known to the world, as well as to Italy;

• Promote high-quality viticulture from a mosaic of territories;

• Strengthen the territorial identity while enhancing the nature of the different terroirs;

• Unite entrepreneurs in pursuing common goals, starting with product quality;

• Build a wine system recognized by core institutions, and to engage in institutional dialog.

• Define and develop digital marketing strategies to promote Sicilian wine to the world.

From the vineyard to the bottle, control of our wine production chain follows detailed requirements in order to produce quality wines.  Our associated companies produce about 900 labels, from which more than 80% of the value of bottled Sicilian wine is generated. 95% of the companies produce D.O.C wines, and exports represent over 50% of sales — reaching over one hundred countries.  

The European market is the first destination of Sicilian wines (45% of sales), followed by the American market (31% of sales), the Asian market (16%), Oceania (6%) and Africa (2%). Traditional markets such as Germany, Switzerland, England, Japan, USA, Canada and Russia are now joined by emerging ones such as Brazil, China, South Korea and South East Asia.
