"Agriculture is the art of knowing how to wait" Riccardo Bacchelli
Being a pure impatient, I had to learn the art of knowing how to wait. Waiting means trying to understand and learn, and that’s what I do as a winemaker, immersing myself completely in the vineyard to grasp its vital essence. In 2013 I started the Viticulture and Oenology Bachelor’s degree program in Palermo. This happened because of curiosity, almost by chance and I fell madly in love with it. The experiences of study and work took me far away from Sicily, but something calls me to my native land. In 2016 I began to feel the need to return with the idea of producing a rebellious wine as a pure expression of myself and of the territory. In order to realize it, I chose an hectare of vineyard in Casteltermini, in the Agrigento province. This parcel is placed between 600 and 550 meters above sea level, overlooking the Platani Valley, in the heart of Sicani Mountains. These plants sink their roots in this poor soil of chalky-calcareous matrix.
