Bianco Pomice Igt

Aroma and elegance crossed by a subtle but perceptible and savoury salty texture that makes it unique. An aroma that unleash a great balance. The wine has the sun and a strong brackish minerality inside its deep roots. The heady aromas of Malvasia delle Lipari blend masterfully with the fresh mineral caress of Carricante to create a taste where the concept of balance becomes the archetype of a complex Sicilian elegance ready to conquer the world. The grape is selected and picked manually, the yeast are the indigenous ones and the clarification takes place naturally, by racking the wine several times before bottling.

Tenuta Di Castellaro

Respect for nature, man and tradition are the cornerstones of the philosophy that Tenuta di Castellaro has espoused since the early stages of the project. In Lipari, in the splendid Aeolian Islands, on the Piana di Castellaro 350 meters above sea level, supported by the ancient Quarries of Kaolin, an ambitious oenological and landscape project arises.

Tenuta di Castellaro winery is born from the careful selection of the indigenous vines of the Aeolian archipelago and from the recovery of a part of that territory that, over the years, had been abandoned.
The millennial tree, grown organically in the 20 hectares of vineyard, preserves the precious fruit that gives birth to sought-after wines with a unique taste, pure expression of the volcanic territory of Lipari, an unspoiled place that has welcomed us with its natural adversities.

Sicilia

Like much of the Italian mainland, Sicily’s winemakers have moved away from producing high-volume, unremarkable wines, to focus on quality wines of great character. Its dry, well-structured red and white wines could not be further removed from the sweet Marsala and Moscato of the island’s past, and this has not gone unnoticed by international markets that have never had such a thirst for Sicilian wines. Sicilian producers have paved the way for other Southern Italian winemakers to begin to exploit the country’s rich environmental diversity, with wines that achieve the potential first admired by the Greeks and Romans.
