La Perucca is a vineyard that lies exactly between Barolo and Barbaresco and is therefore classified as Nebbiolo d'Alba. La Perucca is mainly based on clay, limestone and sand, the planting density is 5000 vines per hectare with an average yield of 1kg/vine. The vineyard was planted in 1995 at an...
La rocca bella, the beautiful rock, is just a stone's throw away from La Morra and yet already outside the sacred zone of Barolo. Cinzia and Eugenio own 1.5 hectares of vines there, which they planted entirely with Nebbiolo in 1997. The soil is mainly based on clay and sand. The Roccabella is the...
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...
Fabio Ferracane can also do Grillo. 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,...
The Camaleonte (Chameleon) is - as the name suggests - a somewhat unusual rosé. In contrast to the usual practice, it is not a red variety that is briefly macerated, pressed and vinified, but rather wines that are already finished are cuvetised and blended into one big whole.
Fabio Ferracane use...
Jura meets Marsala. The Muffato is - as sometimes happens with the production of special wines - a child of chance. Its mother was a barrel of Catarratto that was filled in 2013, but was then forgotten. Over the years, a little wine always evaporated in it, over which - increasingly exposed to th...
Nosiola has always been at home in Trentino. Elisabetta Foradori delivers one of the best interpretations of the variety with her Fontanasanta, which is matured in amphorae - the "holy spring" is also the name of the two-hectare vineyard where the grapes are grown. The soil is barren and chalky a...
The Pinot Grigio Fuoripista (beyond the piste) is an alternative to the usual image of the omnipresent variety in Trentino. Pinot Grigio is not banal and trivial, but profound and full-bodied. Fuoripista was created in cooperation with Marco Devigili, who practises biodynamic viticulture in the s...
The two Teroldego Morei and Sgarzon are the fruits of years of biodynamic vineyard work in two individual vineyards that are particularly suitable for this grape variety. Elisabetta Foradori also spent years working with the Spanish Tinajas before bottling the wines vinified in them. It is not th...
The range of wines that Elisabetta Foradori has produced over the course of her more than 30 years as a winemaker has occasionally shrunk and then grown again. The only thing that has remained stable in the range is her Teroldego, which has always been a guideline for her changing approach over t...
Regent is a Piwi, a fungus-resistant grape variety, and the red complement to the orange-coloured Ambra made from Souvignier Gris.
The vines grow virtually untreated on soils characterised by gneiss and granite on a steep slope near Naturno in the northern Adige Valley. The grapes are harvested ...
