About the Producer

Fabrizio Vella is a passionate winemaker living and working in Sicily. Proud of the island that he calls home he wanted to create a wine range that was personal to him. Working with indigenous varieties of Cattaratto and Nero d’Avola he conjured four wines using an organic approach and careful winemaking to create wines that are fresh, exciting and moreish.

Harvested by hand, the vineyard sites are situated at an altitude of 350-450m, ensuring cooler night time temperatures.
The grapes are first very gently pressed and fermented in 50 hl acacia wood barrels for 24 hours. The second fermentation is followed by malolactic fermentation.
