Origin and history of the vine
The Syrah grape variety originally hails from the city of Schiraz in Persia, from where it appears to have arrived in Italy in ancient times via the city of Syracuse. It spread throughout France (Côte du Rhône) and the New World, especially in warmer wine regions such as Australia, South Africa, and California. In recent times, Syrah has spread to Italy from France (around the mid-1800s) and has found its ideal territory in our warmer regions (Sicily).

Cultivation area
The municipality of Salemi, at 446 meters above sea level, has been a defining feature of the region for millennia. The heart of Italy's most vineyard-rich province (Trapani), offers vines a unique terroir, capable of imparting inimitable characteristics and qualities to the fruit. The hilly terrain and the properties of the limestone and tuff soil, combined with the climatic conditions, create ideal conditions for growing grapes. Sicilian wines are called "sun wines" because the grapes are bathed in the warm Sicilian sun. Once vinified, they produce full-bodied wines with a distinctive grandeur.

In the cellar
100% Demeter biodynamic grapes.

Winemaking
Spontaneous fermentation works with what nature offers each year and relies on the strength and health of the soil and vineyard to produce grapes rich in yeasts essential for fermentation in the cellar. Spontaneous fermentation is the essential condition for creating a wine capable of capturing the authentic flavors of a terroir.
