Egesta is one of the most original and best white wines in Sicily. It is made from 100% white Grillo, a variety that is associated with Sicily more than almost any other, but which apparently does not originate from the island. It was probably first planted in Sicily after the phylloxera campaign...

The Saignée is a clear reference to France, especially to Provence, where excellent rosé wines are still produced today using the (Saignée) method of the same name. Aldo has also done this for many years - but with the 2018 vintage, he is going one step further and building a finely woven, playfu...

The grapes for the Grillo ripen in the inland hills around Segesta, the Grecanico vines are rooted in the wild west of Sicily, while the C...

The Guarini Coccinella is the result of Aldo Viola's passion for Syrah. Convinced that the variety could also produce excellent results in Sicily in well-ventilated and north-facing locations, he set out on a search a good two decades ago and found what he was looking for in Feudo Guarini, a micr...

Cataratto has always been the workhorse among the island's white grape varieties, and you could taste it. Only recently have there been a small number of winegrowers who have really got to the bottom of the character of Catarratto and are breaking new ground. Aldo Viola's Montelongo Catarratto vi...

Although Syrah plays a not insignificant role in Moretto, it shares this status equally with Perricone and Nerello mascalese. Thanks to the success story of the wines from Mount Etna, the latter has now become known beyond the borders. Perricone, on the other hand, is hardly known to anyone, whic...

For a long time, the Catarratto grape variety was synonymous with simple and mostly insignificant wines. Its name means waterfall in German and is due to the fact that Catarratto - if you put your mind to it - can produce almost unbelievable quantities of grapes, which has naturally been done. Fa...

Before the wine of the same name was invented in Marsala in the 18th century and subsequently shipped almost exclusively to England, there was already a very similar style of wine in the region, although it was not fortified with high-proof alcohol, but harvested late and fermented without addit...

Catarratto is Fabio Ferracane's flagship variety and the Guanciabianca is a brilliant introduction.  The vines for this are rooted on a plateau 160 metres above sea level in very calcareous soil. In view of the very high temperatures around Marsala, especially in summer, limestone provides a cer...

Marsala is hot and dry. As the crow flies, it is the same distance to Tunis as it is to Catania. People move slowly and work until ten o'clock in the morning in summer - after that, the sea breezes hardly help. Catarratto has few problems with the heat. On the contrary. The variety really comes i...

Although Catarratto is clearly the leitmotif in his range of grape varieties, he also has a small vineyard in which the second important white grape variety Marsalas is rooted. It is located in the plain behind the salt pans of the western Sicilian town, where,...
