Shiraz Terre Siciliane I.G.P. Legend has it that Queen Cleopatra greatly appreciated Shiraz wine. In the 3rd century, Roman legionnaires brought the first strains to Sicily and, since then, Shiraz has been intertwined with the history of the most fascinating and noble island in the Mediterranean, where it was wine that saved Ulysses from the monstrous Cyclops Polyphemus.
