Abstract

The Sicilian winemaking production achieved a quantitatively good level during the post-Italian unification years, but it is still underdeveloped regarding its quality wine standards, except from some limited areas: this is the basic idea underneath the present paper. It is no more sustainable to leave this situation unchanged because everybody is aware of the Sicilian big potentialities in terms of quality wine producing. So, it is necessary to rethink the production processes and to improve financing in order to align the quality wine potentialities to the effective final product realization. Moreover, the human capital creation and education play an important role in the quality wine production. The paper analyses the events impacting wine production starting from the Italian unification process. Unfortunately, the production processes did not push towards a better quality wine realization even if lots of shocking events occurred during the nineteenth century and the twentieth century: the phylloxera infection expansion, the fascist regime laws, the rebirthing process during the second pas-war years and the European Economic integration process.
