Description
Robert V. Camuto's Palmento is a captivating exploration of Sicily's emerging wine scene, driven by his passion for Italian heritage and desire to discover a land somewhat wilder than his home in southern France.
During over a year of traveling the region, from Palermo to Marsala and across the rugged interior of Sicily to Mount Etna, Camuto uncovers the personalities, flavors, traditions, and natural riches that have made Italy's largest and oldest wine region a world traveler's newest discovery.
The book reveals the island's vastly different wines as an expression of humanity and nature, where the two merge into something more. It portrays Sicily at a shining moment in history, introducing readers to the anti-Mafia movement, prominent landowning families, film and music celebrities, and foreigners drawn to its vineyards.
