We are winemakers in Faro Superiore, a small village on the hills of Messina, in North Eastern Sicily. Our vineyards, three plots totaling almost three hectares, are located on steep terraces between 250 and 300 m s.l.m. surrounded by a forest of centuries-old oaks and chestnuts, forming a natural "amphitheater" overlooking the Strait of Messina, where the Ionian and Tyrrhenian Seas meet. We only cultivate native grape varieties, Nerello Mascalese, Nerello Cappuccio and Nocera, with vine ages ranging from 10 to 80 years and more, grown as bush vines and cordon-trained. The yield per hectare is just 60 quintals. We strictly carry out natural farming to preserve the native fauna and flora; no use of chemical fertilizers, but only green manure of legumes and grasses sown in autumn; no use of herbicides and insecticides, but only low doses of copper and sulfur for pest defense. On all our plots, certified organic farming is practiced. The harvest takes place between the first and second decade of October with manual grape picking, selected in the vineyard and transported to the owned winery a few hundred meters from the vineyards. In the cellar, no addition of chemical additives, only long macerations and long refinements. Our wines undergo no stabilization and/or clarification process, but only, if necessary, a coarse pre-bottling filtration. For this reason, any deposits are exclusively a symptom of their naturalness. This is the basis of our production philosophy; time will give our wines the right expression of the territory and of our being winemakers.
