The importance of the soils where the vines are grown determines the style and taste of a wine. Only in soils with good expressions grown in suitable areas can the facets of a territory be identified, dictated by the rhythm of the vintage and by the interpretation of the producer. This wine wants to tell the typicality of the calcareous soils of Contrada Buonivini.

Wine obtained from the selection of the best parcels of Nero d’Avola grapes, cultivated on white calcareous soils with a fine texture and very rich in rock. The calcareous lands give wines with very elegant and mineral scents, they are distinguished by their lively freshness and a taste rich in fruity aromas.

To depict this wine we decided to stylize the calcareous soil with the color of the earth of our vineyards. In the four natural elements, the earth symbolizes our origins, welcomes life and nourishes it.
