Bbirbiciù
Testa di Ghiaca 2021

100% Zibibbo from 60 year-old bush vines fermented on the skins in amphora buried in the sandy volcanic soils of the vineyard. The concentration of the wine is impressive, glowing a sandy gold in the glass and generously textured. heady floral notes, ripe tropical fruits and exotic spices leap from the glass. An otherworldly delight. Find out more.

Fabio Ferracane
Foddreé 2022

Hazy, col fondo Catarratto. Giving heady aromas of tinned tropical fruit and salty white grapefruit on the palate, despite the sandy opacity in the glass the wine is impressively clean and refreshing. The perlant, pinprick bubbles make this the perfect aperitivo wine. Find out more.

Fabio Ferracane
Guanciabianca 2022

Fabio's entry-point Catarratto that blends grapes from both his sandy coastal vines and those from the valley, further inland. Sharp-edged and linear, with zesty white peach and apricot stone fruits cut through with a long beam of acidity. A wine that speaks of the ocean breeze and rolling hills of western Sicily.

Fabio Ferracane
Camaleonte 2022

A breezy, 'all-in' kinda wine that serves as an approximation of Fabio's overall style. Named after the chameleon as the blend changes every year - it is a mix of everything to be found in the cellar. Fruity, fun and delicious, with unmistakable notes of salty red cherries, some great texture from the skin-contact elements and it just goes down so so easily. Sicilian sunshine from start to finish.

Fabio Ferracane
Macerato 2022

Highly aromatic, burnished amber maceration of Catarrato. Sea-salted apricot with a heady waft of wild herbs and flowers float out of the glass preceding grippy, mouth-coating tannins and a resinous pine cone quality, inflected with medicinal eucalyptus. Exactly the style of orange wine that we love! Find out more.
