Tasting Notes: A special selection of Malvasia grapes from the volcanic island of Salina. A brief maceration on the skins gives this “island” wine more depth and complexity. Just the wine for a grilled steak of swordfish enjoyed as the sun sets off the coast of this stunning Aeolian island.
Estate History: The Aeolian island of Salina, just north of Sicily, has been the home of the Caravaglio family since the 1500's. They were among a handful of Spanish families invited to the island to develop agriculture in the 16th century. Composed of six volcanoes, Salina is covered in vegetation - ferns, poplars and chestnut trees blanket the mountainsides. The Volcanic sand and rock that make up the island's soil make it well suited for growing incredible quality grapes, capers and olives. Sitting between 600 and 1200 feet above sea level, most of the estate's vines are ungrafted, having been protected from phylloxera by the sea winds and the mineral composition of the soil.
