Vittoria

Vittoria occupies an inland plain in southeastern Sicily, between the Hyblaean Plateau and the Mediterranean coast. Founded in 1607 by Countess Vittoria Colonna Henriquez-Cabrera, the town bears its founder’s name and developed in an agricultural district shaped by vineyards and market gardening. Its best-known local product is Cerasuolo di Vittoria, Sicily’s only DOCG wine, made chiefly from Nero d’Avola and Frappato grapes. The historic centre includes the Basilica di San Giovanni Battista and Teatro Vittoria Colonna, while the surrounding countryside extends towards the coast near Scoglitti.
