Coda della Foce has been defined as a beautiful wine in a blue dress: elegant, never intrusive, at ease in any situation, persuasive with style and personality. Blend of Nero d'Avola and Petit Verdot in variable proportions depending on the vintage, it comes from the assembly of the best carats that have shown a particular personality and evolutionary finesse and is produced only when the characteristics of each harvest and the long aging in large casks allow it to express a superior organoleptic quality. Super Sicilian by birth, citizen of the world by choice of life.

In Sicily, "coast" is the side of the hills that gently slope down to the sea, covered by vineyards as far as the eye can see that bask in the sun, unkempt by the fresh Mediterranean breezes. These are the places of Grillo, a fascinating native variety that interprets the beauty of the Menfi terroir with great personality. Son of generous lands, Coste al Vento gives us a full and ripe fruit that blends with the brackish notes brought by the sea winds, in a harmonious crescendo made original by maceration on the skins and fermentation with indigenous yeasts.

The old vineyards of Inzolia planted by my father more than fifty years ago are an extraordinary legacy on which to build the future of viticulture in Belicello. The original clones, perfectly adapted to the particular conditions of the environment to which they belong, exuberantly express the personality and wine culture of the Menfi area. The soil, mainly calcareous and pebbly, gives the wine an intense and at the same time delicate sapidity, great depth and aromatic breadth.

Feminine and sensual, Lu Còri tells of a Sicily kissed by the sun and caressed by sea breezes. Its splendid purple livery, edged with violet reflections in its youth, evolves towards ruby with the passing of the years. Ripe red fruits, especially blackberries and raspberries, characterize the bouquet, made intriguing by notes of brine and a slight spiciness. In the mouth it is fragrant, soft and velvety, with delicate tannins, perfectly integrated in a juicy and persistent finish.

Fresh as the sea breeze, the Inzolia from the young vineyards of Belicello is versatile, pleasant, with a dynamic and satisfying sip.Since its brilliant straw color, the glass reflects the intense light of the Sicilian mornings; the bouquet opens delicately on hints of citrus and almond blossom, and then evolves into notes of white peach and aromatic herbs.Its intense sapidity on the palate is made harmonious by a soft and flowing texture and by an acidity that is never too intrusive.

Each vineyard is a complex ecosystem where plants, animals, insects and infinite types of microorganisms live in harmony with each other.A balance that man's work must not upset but must understand, respect and protect, limiting his interventions to the essential so as not to alter the dynamics of the natural environment of which he himself is a part.The Microcosm vineyard is an example of how this balance is possible, in a varietal interdependence that is both energy and life.

At the western border of the Belicello Estate, the Belìce River flows lazily towards the Mediterranean, drawing large volutes, bordered by brambles and reeds and inhabited by hawks, herons and birds of passage.The deep sandy soils on the embankment are periodically invaded by the waters of the river which, overflowing, deposit silty sediments and enrich them with a substantial mineral component.Inside a cove, which we have always called La Vota, lives the Cabernet Sauvignon: son of the River, the sea and the sands, interwoven with the flowers and herbs of the bed, minerals and brackish.

The Little Girl is play, curiosity, discovery. It is the wine that I have dedicated to women, to their strength, to their ability to fight for what they believe in without being frightened by difficulties. Its delicately coppery color is fascinating as a prelude to a fragrant bouquet of wild rose and wild strawberries, pomegranate, watermelon and lemon peel. Savory and crunchy on the palate, it is a very pleasant wine, whose persistence is accentuated by an iodized, almost marine finish.

Azimut, our first wine. Expected and cherished like a dream that takes shape, which then becomes possible and finally becomes concrete with the passion and work of every day. Azimut, from the Arabic as-sumuth which means direction: because being a winemaker is not just a job, but implies a profound and conscious choice of life.Our experimentation with wild yeasts began with Azimut, of which very little was said in Sicily at the time, and this is why it was considered an extreme wine from the outset, with a little international personality.
