Inspired by a deep passion for wine, an Italian heritage, and a desire for a land somewhat wilder than his home in southern France, Robert V. Camuto set out to explore Sicily&;s emerging wine scene. What he discovered during more than a year of traveling the region, however, was far more than a fascinating wine frontier. 
 Chronicling his journey through Palermo to Marsala, and across the rugged interior of Sicily to the heights of Mount Etna, Camuto captures the personalities and flavors and the traditions and natural riches that have made Italy&;s largest and oldest wine region the world traveler&;s newest discovery. In the island&;s vastly different wines he finds an expression of humanity and nature&;and the space where the two merge into something more.  Here, amid the wild landscapes, lavish markets, dramatic religious rituals, deliciously contrasting flavors, and astonishing natural warmth of its people, Camuto portrays Sicily at a shining moment in history. He takes readers into the anti-Mafia movement growing in the former mob vineyards around infamous Corleone; tells the stories of some of the island&;s most prominent landowning families; and introduces us to film and music celebrities and other foreigners drawn to Sicily&;s vineyards. His book takes wine as a powerful metaphor for the independent identity of this mythic land, which has thrown off its legacies of violence, corruption, and poverty to emerge, finally free, with its great soul intact.

This book gave me a better understanding of Sicilian wine than any wine guide I have yet to come across. Now I know which growers produce the best wines and why from the well written stories in this engaging book by Robert Camuto.

5,0 su 5 stelle Sicily as Metaphor

I am a great admirer of Mr. Camuto's previous book, "Corkscrewed," which focused on the "natural" wine scene in France and changed the way I think about, purchase, and appreciate wine. Palmento isn't necessarily a better book, but it should appeal to an even wider audience, thanks to Mr. Camuto's passion for Sicilian history and culture as well as to its broader insights and exploration of universal themes.

In his odyssey, Mr. Camuto inevitably reaches some dead ends, both literally (not literarily) and metaphorically. (Maps and first impressions of Sicily aren't always accurate, believe it or not!) Although these diversions are entertaining enough in their own right, they are highlighted by the numerous revelations he shares as he travels the island nation in search of wine, food, people, and places that can be not only inspirational but at times even mythic - like Mt. Etna itself, where grapes are being grown and wine is being made by modern-day characters who a few thousand years ago might have inspired Homer as well.

I've chosen several passages to illustrate how this book rises above being just another celebration of wine, although that's not an unworthy endeavor in itself:

"Wasn't it all related? Land, agriculture, exploitation, urbanization, the Mafia, were all part of Siciliy's sad and confounding history."

"To me there is no more important distinction in the wine world than between those who view land as a possession or a factory and those who care for it intimately."

"Biondi made no money from wine and seemed not to care. He was driven by other things: the footprints of his ancestors, the land that made him not want to build buildings, the black eruption carved into a phallus of a talisman, and the scent of a goddess of the night."

"I was thinking of how much more fragile existence was for most of us Westerners--dependent not on the soil and its seasons, but on money and sophisticated systems created to keep it circulating."

"I was beginning to see that passito is, as the name suggests, all about the passage of time: the lateness of the harvest, the weeks the grapes spent baking in the sun, and its years of aging. Unlike most wines that absorbed time haltingly and unevenly, passito seemed time's perfect reflection. If you knew it well enough, I figured, you could set your watch to it."

"The route we took was an all-too-typical Sicilian juxtaposition of beauty and squalor: the desolateness of Santo Stefano was followed by a spontaneous trash dump, a shepherd grazing his flock on weeds and trash, and the open wound of a cement plant just before we got to the road along the sea."

"There it was again: the sweeping verbal gesture magnified in the prism of Sicily, the pronouncement so poetic it nullified any arguments before they could take their first breath. The vines, the amphorae, the thousands of years of history, the palmenti, the volcano--the beauty and power of it all. In Italy, of course, beauty is next to holiness. Sicily was long the most treasured daughter of the Mediterranean. So who can teach Sicily anything about beauty?"

"'It is like a village or a city here,' Foti said. `Some of the vines are young, some are old, some are more intelligent, and others more stupid.'"

Some reviewers have said that reading Palmento has moved them to include Sicily in their immediate travel plans. I feel the same motivation; but even if I never go, I will still be searching for what is "Sicilian" in the rest of the world.

When I first met Robert up high on Etna in a little obscure town (Solicchiata) at a even more obscure bar, Sandro's, I thought that here's another American wine/travel writer who would spend a couple days with us and then just go away forever. He didn't. Robert kept coming back and with each time he was more inquisitive and passionate about Etna and the people who lived and worked on "Mongibello".

There have been a lot of books written about Sicily, wine, and her people lately but if you're looking to get an upfront and personal insight into the people and traditions of this island then this is a must read. I can't think of a better writer today that fully captures the essence of his subject than Robert Camuto. He doesn't compile tons of technical data to overwhelm us by how much he knows, Robert tells stories about the people he meets and places he visits. He shares his life's journeys with us and in this case, in this book the people and many friends he's made along the way. The wonder of his latest writing is in the intimacy and sharing of the stories just like if we were there with him. On a few occasions I was which is why I can say that Robert has captured the heart and soul of everyone he writes about in this book.

Oh, I almost forgot to say something about Robert's take on Sicilian wine. By the time you close the last page of the book there's no doubt in my mind that you'll be able to walk into a wine shop and know more than anyone else in the store about Sicilian wines and some of her producers.

If you've never been to Sicily then after reading this book you'll probably want to come. If you've already been here then Robert's stories will trigger fond memories that will probably bring you back.

Bravo Robert, Mongibello awaits you, come back soon!.....Brandon
