About the Wine

Vermentino Corso from Filippo’s bush vines planted over clay and limestone some 430 metres above sea level planted over clay and limestone. The grapes were fermented on the skins for two days, before being pressed off to old wooden casks for a year of rest. Compact and elegant and endless layers and complexity, this feels positively Sicilian with its notes of almonds, sea salt and spice.

About Lamoresca

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.

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.
