Bbirbiciù
Brasì 2022

The colour of a brick-tinged Nebbiolo in the glass, this singular red/white blend of Catarratto and Pignatello really captures the essence of this far-flung volcanic island.

Fabio Ferracane
Aggiara 2021

Next-level sister wine to Fabio's 'Macerato' cuvée with a more refined process. Here, an extended time in amphora has imprinted a whole new textural identity on that same herbal, pithy and deep maceration of Catarratto. There is the familiar eucalyptus and salt-tinged apricot stone fruit, but here the tannins feel filed-down and beautifully fine-grained from the contact with the clay vessel. Find out more.

Lamoresca
Rosso 2022

A classic red Sicilian blend given the Lamoresca treatment. The elevated inland location of the vines retains freshness, but Filippo still sees this as one of his serious wines - floral dark fruits framed by a neat tannins and that wild, herbaceous quality that seems to always find its way into the wines of this island.

Fabio Ferracane
Muffato Oxidative 2018

A callback to the old school Marsala of days gone by and a remarkable, completely natural phenomenon. Bone dry, the wine is a heady mix of all the complex flavours and textures that oxidation and flor-contact can bring. Fruits give way to woody hazelnut, toasted almond, turmeric and garam masala spice with crystals of salt, plus a little sweet vanilla from the barrel. Find out more.
