SMALL QUANTITIES MANY WINES
Being a winemaker at my own winery gives me the freedom to experiment, and to combine modern techniques and traditional knowledge, with the ultimate ambition of making great wines.
I love working with single vineyards, and I do not blend wines or grapes : some of the wines I make are produced in very small quantities due to the limited vineyards’ dimensions and/or yields. If the grapes of a specific vineyard are occasionally not good enough, I may skip one or more vintages.
Rather than using the well‐known Sicilia denomination, I only use Menfi DOC for my wines. This is my personal tribute to the terroir where I live and work, the only name that means identity to me.
Some of my wines are labelled Terre Siciliane IGT , an appellation that gives me more freedom to use skin contact or long lees refining, and some others are just named Vino da Tavola Bianco or Rosso.
