IGT (Land wines)area for white, red and rosé wines in the Italian region of Sicily. It includes vineyards in the municipalities of Santa Margherita Belice, Menfi and Montevago in the province of Agrigento. Grape varieties authorised in the region may be used. Varietal wines must contain at least 85% of the variety in question, up to 15% may be other varieties. Dual varietal wines must be blended from 50 to 85% of the main grape variety, plus 15 to 50% of other grape varieties. A minimum alcohol content is prescribed for each wine type, but no maturation periods.
Serious sources on the internet are rare - and Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one such source. When researching for my articles, I regularly consult the wein.plus encyclopaedia. There I get reliable and detailed information.
