Mario Marengo's Dolcetto d'Alba is a faithful portrait of pure Piedmontese everyday life, directly from the Langhe. Made as tradition dictates by an authentic vigneron, it is vinified only in steel vats. On the nose it smells of violets and wild flowers with garnishes of peeled almonds and light spices. Fresh and agile sip, gastronomic and territorial with a finish of dried fruit
The Barolo "Bricco delle Viole" by Mario Marengo is an artistic and at the same time deeply territorial interpretation of this well-known Barolo cru. A Piedmontese red of great personality and expressiveness, characterized on the nose by the legendary aroma of violet with accents of sour cherry, black pepper, liquorice and plum. In the mouth it is juicy, tasty, with silky tannins and a long tasting persistence
After the careful manual harvest, only the best bunches are sent for fermentation in steel containers, with maceration on the skins for a period of 10 days. Subsequently, we proceed with the refinement which takes place in barriques and lasts 24 months.
Mario Marengo's Barbera d'Alba "Vigna Pugnane" is a concentrate of pure Piedmontese territoriality. The Barbera grapes come from the municipality of Castiglione Falletto and give life to a red rich in floral and fruity aromas, intense and engaging. After aging in wood for at least 10 months, it becomes full of body and heat, giving a juicy sip, with a typical acid shoulder and a long fruity persistence.
BIO extra virgin olive oil, cold pressed and simply decanted without any filtration, Sikele is produced with Nocellara del Belìce olives from the Contrada Belicello olive grove. The 2022 harvest gave us a truly excellent oil, with low acidity (0.12) and intensely fruity. It has hints of almond, freshly cut grass, thistle, tomato and aromatic herbs. With a bright green colour, it is suitable for any use, especially on structured dishes with an intense flavour. Try it on hot bread, with a simple splash of oregano, or on legume soups, red meats and grilled vegetables.
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.
Although originally from Ragusa, most of the Frappato is grown in the province of Trapani, a few kilometers from my vineyards. Menfi and Vittoria have a lot in common: both exposed to the South and therefore to Africa, kissed by the salty wind of the Mediterranean and rich in sandy-limestone soils lying on compact clays. These affinities convinced me to introduce Frappato to Belìce. When I created the FuoriZona label, Liliana Segre's story came to mind about the little girl who, during her deportation to Auschwitz, drew a butterfly flying over the barbed wire. I would like the tiny gesture of drawing that butterfly to bear witness to that message: always choose love, peace, solidarity towards every human being who lives, together with us, on this earth.
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.
Vibrant and decisive, NoTrix is direct and transparent: it does not want and does not need "embellishments". It is a wine with a brilliant ruby colour, with intense and playful scents of red fruits and geranium flowers. Its solid and well integrated tannins support a palate with an agile and dynamic body, where spicy notes of ginger and star anise accompany the drink towards a saline and very persistent finish. This is how Perricone is, and this is how I like this wine to be: without tricks and without falsehoods, far from oenological models that do not belong to the Menfi winemaking tradition.
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.
