Filippo Rizzo’s vines are right in the middle of nowhere, on a raised patch of rolling hills in Sicily’s interior, with the only reference point being the smouldering peak of Etna peering over the hills. They total five hectares and are up to 60 years old, planted over a mix of sand and clay at an elevation of 430 metres above sea level. There are rather dramatic differences in temperature between day and night, a real boon in this typically Mediterranean climate. Filippo is wary of dogma and simply seeks to make the best wine that each vintage allows. Grapes are only picked when completely ripe and the wines offer complexity, density and balance.
Vineyard work is organic and the approach to winemaking is restrained, considered and practical, with the aim to provide characterful expressions of Sicily’s native grapes.
A blend of Nero d’Avola, Frappato and a touch of Moscato from a friend’s vineyard in Pachino. It’s all given a direct press, aged in concrete for eight months and bottled with no additions. This is a wonderful rosato, with blood orange bitterness and a pleasant herbaceous character that offers no shortage of refreshment.
