Climate & Soil
Viticulture
Practising organic
Nestled by the shimmering waters of the Strait of Messina, in a natural amphitheatre where the Ionian meets the Tyrrhenian Sea, Giovanni and Sanny are crafting Sicily’s benchmark for Nerello Mascalese – an ethereal, supremely elegant, and refined wine.
This is artisanal winemaking at its most authentic, with garden critters roaming freely among the vineyards in a true silvopastoral system that nourishes both soil and vine, complemented by a staunchly low-intervention approach in the cellar.
And, if you are lucky, together with tasting their exceptional wines you might even be treated to Sanny’s infamous pasta e fagioli.
