Alessandro Viola

Alcamo (Trapani) Sicily

Varied soils of limestone and sand up on Mount Bonifato (north facing) and clay down the valley. 250-700m altitude.

Alessandro cultivates a 5-hectare vineyard on Mount Bonifato, situated along the mountain pass at an altitude of approximately 600-700 meters. The vineyard lies over a geological fault, with sand on one side and limestone on the other.

The fruit-forward Nero d'Avola for Note di Rosso is planted in a valley near Santa Ninfa, while the rustic Nerello and earthy Perricone come from Alcamo. These vines are a 10-year-old massal selection from local old vines. After the grapes are harvested, they are completely destemmed, followed by a week-long maceration, fermentation, and aging in stainless steel tanks.
