Tasting Notes: Aromatic with vibrant red fruit, Mediterranean herbs and earthy complexity. Integrated tannins and a distinct minerality are balanced with the nocera's acidity. This is focused and precise with incredible structure.

Ageing/Vinification: Our Faro DOC comes from bush vines over 80 years old, on clayey and calcareous soils, with a blend of 60% Nerello Mascalese, 30% Nerello Cappuccio and 10% Nocera. After 20-40 days of maceration on the skins and a 24-month refinement between oak and cement, it rests for six months in the bottle, expressing the authentic soul of the Messina territory.

Vineyard: Our vineyards, distributed over three plots totaling nearly three hectares, are situated on picturesque terraces at an altitude of 250-300 meters above sea level. Surrounded by a forest of ancient oaks and chestnuts, these vineyards form a natural "amphitheater" overlooking the Strait of Messina, where the Ionian Sea and the Tyrrhenian Sea meet.
