Time of harvest across the peninsula, but there is an island where the rite of the grape harvest takes on a very special meaning. We are talking of Favignana, the largest of the islands Egadi rising in front of Trapani and Marsala.
It's been 150 years that the harvest was made because the screw was missing. After this huge amount of time, a local company has decided to invest in the island and planted the vine. This is Firriato, a wine of Paceco (Trapani) among the most in Sicily.
At Favignana then returns this year to harvest. All the vines planted native varieties, and judging from the first data collected and the wines which will be made promise a high standard of quality.
Nero d'Avola, Perricone, Grillo, Zibibbo Catarratto and the grapes in question. The challenge is to affirm a sea of vineyards, boasts not only held that the same company owns and Etna in Sicily.
A network of territories Sicilian Firriato identified as excellent and complementary to strengthen the brand of Sicilian wine. It 'the estate of Calamone, Favignana, that grew the company's project "Project Insulae".
The soil they are very suitable for a yield of high quality. The soil, very fertile, sandy calcareous and are characterized by the presence of a rock of marine origin rich in calcium carbonate and fossil.
Do not just have to wait to taste the wine making process the final result for the wine island. Wine in Sicily island, which has excellent levels: just think about the past of Pantelleria and Malvasia delle Lipari.
