Zibibbo has a history spanning thousands of years: it has Egyptian origins and after this first long adaptation to the North African coasts, Zibibbo was brought to western Sicily by the Phoenicians and the Greeks, becoming one of the most widespread and interesting varieties of the western Mediterranean around 800-700 aC During the Roman Empire the variety was also exported to other regions of southern Europe. Zibibbo is known in Sicily mainly by its Arabic denomination, Z'bìb, which simply means "raisins".
The name derives from the "black berry" fruit and from the Syracusan city of Avola. Nero d'Avola on the island was introduced several centuries ago by colonizers from Greece and then it adapted perfectly to this new environment so as to become the most famous and important black grape variety in Sicily. Until the first half of the 20th century, Nero d'Avola wine was used almost exclusively as a blending wine, in recent decades Sicilian winemakers have started the production of this wine alone with truly excellent results.
Grillo is a white grape variety widespread above all in western Sicily. The probable origin lies in what Baron Mendola wrote in 1874: “white Catarratto seed artificially fertilized with Zibibbo in the flowering of 1869 in my Piana dei Peri vineyard near Favara […] . The same wrote also in 1904 "I hybridized the common Catarratto of Sicily […] neck Zibibbo, to be able to make a more aromatic Marsala". The Grillo initially finds its origin in the Marsala area and then in the other provinces of the island. Il Grillo is capable of giving wines with a high alcohol content and then having the vocation of being particularly predisposed to ageing. The best Marsala is obtained by vinifying Grillo.

The perfect statement of the Quadra philosophy. A harmonious encounter between the three main grapes of Franciacorta: Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco and Pinot Nero from all the estate vineyards.
QSATEN, essence and prerogative of Franciacorta, is characterized by the exclusive presence of white berried grapes and by the lower pressure (4.5 atmospheres instead of 6) compared to the other Franciacortas. The varietal composition, a cuvée of Chardonnay, partially fermented in wood and Pinot Blanc and the more modulated pressure determine the unmistakable "creamy" taste of Satèn.
QROSÈ BRUT is the evolution of a cuvée based on Pinot noir and Chardonnay fermented in stainless steel and barrique. After tirage, the wine ages for over 42 months before disgorgement. The Pinot noir, grown on the morainic slopes, brings backbone and thickness as well as the characteristic scent of small red fruits, while the Chardonnay gives it fullness and roundness.

Although the ruby color of young Nerello Mascalese is quite pale, here we find an extra point of density. It's not a casuality. The concentration offered by the old vines can be seen right from the colour. Then the nose. Closed in the first phase, it opens slowly offering first delicious notes of small red fruit, then much more. And then here's the strawberry, then the blueberry, a touch of currant. And yet another spicy nuance, an earthy, acrid, almost bloody hint and then again an undergrowth finish. The mouth recalls in the flavors everything that the eye and nose have anticipated. The wine is enveloping, the texture creamy. However, excessive softness is never felt, on the contrary. The mineral salts of the soil give a textbook sapidity, the acidity of the mountain is felt all right. And then the tannin, fine, well blended with the material, capable of giving rhythm to the sip. Final of great depth, clean elegance.
