Frappato grapes from 25 year old vines are handpicked. Fermentation with wild yeast follows. In the cellar, the wine is neither fined nor filtered, maintaining its authenticity and texture. Sulphur levels are kept minimal resulting in a pure and expressive wine. The result is a light and ethereal Frappato that we cannot get enough of
Notes on the producer
Biagio and Vittorio, both natives of Chiaramonte Gulfi with extensive backgrounds in the wine industry, launched this project in 2021 after gaining experience in renowned wineries such as COS and Arianna Occhipinti. Initially working on 1 hectare of rented Nero d’Avola and Frappato vines, they now own 1 hectare and manage an additional 2.1 hectares between the hills of Chiaramonte and the sandy soils of Vittoria. The vineyards are cultivated following regenerative organic farming principles, focusing on revitalising the soil through cover cropping, crimping, mulching, and minimal tilling, primarily at sowing time. In the cellar, no additives are used, and extraction is kept minimal to achieve wines with soft, elegant textures.
The aim is to produce wines that are thirst-quenching, elegant, and intense, with sulphur (SO₂) used only if absolutely necessary before bottling to ensure stability.
