Tasting Notes: This Faro DOC opens with a bright and elegant bouquet dominated by sour cherry and wild plum, layered over a foundation of sun-warmed earth and Mediterranean scrub. On the palate, it reveals a medium body characterized by a persistent freshness and fine-grained tannins that provide a structured, polished frame. Subtle notes of dark chocolate and volcanic minerality emerge through the mid-palate, leading into a clean, savory finish that captures the maritime influence of the Messina coast.
Estate History: The winery was established in 1961 by Father Pietro in the hills of Faro Superiore, a historic viticultural area overlooking the Strait of Messina. Today, the Schillaci family manages the estate, continuing a legacy of artisanal production focused on the region's indigenous grapes like Nerello Mascalese and Nocera. By blending traditional cultivation methods with careful modern refinement, the family preserves the character of one of Italy's smallest and oldest denominations, producing wines that reflect the rugged beauty of the Sicilian landscape.
