Though the Greeks brought their advanced viticulture techniques\, Sicilians have been making wine since 4000 BC. Its dry\, warm climate features regular sunshine and moderate rainfall that suits wine production. Arid conditions reduce the chance of rot and mildew\, especially in areas kissed with coastal breezes. This makes Sicily a prime candidate for organic farming. Olives\, citrus and grains drive the agricultural sector beyond wine.\n\nIn the past\, however\, farmers opted for higher yields\, which turned Sicily into a bulk wine center. They distributed to mainland Europe to boost thin wines\, as well as to China and India\, who imported concentrated Sicilian must to sweeten foods.\n\nHeritage regions like Marsala did put Sicilian wine on the map. Wine traditions in each of the island's regions\, from Vittoria to Mount Etna\, have remained strong. In the 1980s\, a resurgence in interest brought improvements in viticulture and winemaking.
