Salina

Description

Salina is the second biggest and most populate Island of the Aeolian archipelago; during the past it was known with the name of Didyme, meaning "twins", probably referring to the two volcanoes present in its territory. The modern name comes from the production of sea salt.
It is made up of three municipalties, Santa Marina, Malfa and Leni, linked up by asphated roads.
Salina is a very fertile island and the world-famous "Malvasia delle Lipari" DOC is produced here: it is a sweet and golden wine made from grapes that have been left to wither on the vine before being picked. Its smooth, aromatic flavour makes it an excellent dessert wine.
