From a selection of grapes from vineyards located on the northern, southeastern, and southwestern slopes of Etna.

In the Vineyard.
Blend of Nerello Mascalese (c.80-85%) and Nerello Cappuccio (c.15-20%). The soils are sandy, volcanic, rich in minerals, with a sub-acidic reaction. The vines, aged from 10 to 60 years, are cultivated both in traditional bush style and on trellises, with planting densities ranging from 6,000 to 8,000 plants per hectare and yields of 7,000 – 8,000 kg/ha. The altitudes vary from 450 to 900 m above sea level, with a mountain and high hill climate, humid and rainy in the coldest season, high ventilation, and significant temperature fluctuations.

In the Winery.
The two varieties are vinified separately. After destemming, both ferment in steel at controlled temperature, with a maceration of about 15 days, using indigenous yeasts selected by the winery after extensive experimentation. About 80% of the Nerello Mascalese matures in steel and 20% in 2nd-3rd passage French oak barrels for about 8-10 months. The Nerello Cappuccio, on the other hand, matures only in steel. The wine ages in the bottle for about 3 months.

Tradition, history. An excellent interpretation of the red grape variety, the prince of Sicily, with a typically Mediterranean character. The result of precise work, aimed at seeking the best expression of the grape variety, through careful and proximity viticulture, aimed at maximizing the oenological potential of the vineyards. After manual harvesting, necessary to safeguard the integrity of the grapes, and subsequent fermentation at controlled temperature, the wine ages first in steel (4 months), then in French oak barrels for 8/10 months, with an additional 6 months in a lying bottle. The Nero d'Avola from the "La Selezione" line tells the story of Sicilian wine, through its unmistakable hints of wild berries and morello cherry, mixed with spicy notes. The full sip, with good intensity and length, and the soft and enveloping body, make it a wine of absolute finesse.

Frappato was born from my dream as a girl to make a wine that speaks of the land I work, the air I breathe, and my own thoughts. It is sharp, sanguine, and elegant. It is Vittoria and the Iblei mountains. It is the wine that resembles me the most, courageous, original, and rebellious. But not only that. It has peasant origins, which is why it loves its roots and the past it carries within; at the same time, it is capable of fighting to improve itself. It knows refinement without ever forgetting itself.

The Siccagno is my Nero d’Avola, born from that concentrated grape which is called Siccagna. The Nero that tells so much about Sicily, which is wild, but also fresh and elegant, with the flavor of red fruits. It has a noble and aristocratic quality, but also a melancholic touch like a poet or a philosopher. It is passionate, full of human warmth and contrasts. The Nero that is the grape of our fathers and unites Sicily from corner to corner and better captures its spirit for centuries. A wine that I deeply love, and that has always been with me since the first year.
