Alcamo DOC

[AHL-cah-moh] A doc that is located in the western part of sicily and includes the vineyards surrounding the village of Alcamo and eleven other small villages. The wines, also called Bianco Alcamo or Bianco d'Alcamo, are made mainly from catarratto grapes but use small amounts of others like Damaschino, Grecanico, and trebbiano. Many are of mediocre quality, but several producers make crisp, lively wines with class and character.
