SICILIA – The famous “Malvasia delle Eolie” from Tasca d’Almerita
For years, when sailing by the island of Salina, my wife Francesca and I have admired an extraordinary vineyard, overlooking the sea, in an area rich in history where Malvasia is the absolute protagonist.
Attracted by this extraordinary union of land and vines, in 2001 we finally managed to purchase Capofaro. The charm of a vineyard over thirty years old, illuminated by the historic lighthouse of the promontory, had won us over.
As with all our projects, we naturally started from the vineyard, studying it in detail and also measuring ourselves with the producers who had worked it (quite well) before us. A large part of the vineyard has been replanted, while the historical plant material has been retained.
