These unfiltered natural north-western Sicilian gems are a proud addition to the stable.
The vineyards are distributed on the territory of Marsala and Mazara del Vallo. In total, five hectares are subdivided into six grape growing parcels which were cultivated for over a century. Giuseppe Angileri (Father) and son Vincenzo (and grandson Giuseppe Junior) tend these lands just 6 km from the ocean.
Nearly all the vineyards are grown with the ‘alberello’ (sapling) training system. The farmers at Viteadoveststrive to respect the plant and its surroundings.
These wines are made at an altitude of 100 meters above sea-level, with wine vinified in steel or fibreglass tanks. Fermentation is either spontaneous or up to 21-day skin maceration with wild yeasts. This is followed by seven to eighteen months of ageing on lees and then time in bottle.
3 generations of farmers working together making incredible unfiltered and unfined wines formerly only sold to locals and now sharing these delicious beauties globally.
