This wine is born from the magic of the island of Salina, in the Aeolian archipelago, where the sun, the sea, and the volcanic soil create a unique microclimate. The vineyard is located in the Porri – Capo Faro area, a promontory that hosts an ancient lighthouse, and is cultivated on volcanic basalt soil, rich in minerals. The Nerello Mascalese, an indigenous Sicilian grape variety, is grown using the Guyot system on a small and selected plot – number 523 – which produces grapes of extraordinary quality. The particular combination of exposure, altitude, and soil guarantees wines of great complexity and elegance, making this limited production (only 3,500 bottles per year) a true oenological gem. Harvest takes place in the last week of September, when the grapes reach full phenolic ripeness. This is followed by a prolonged maceration on the skins to enhance structure, pigment intensity, and aromatic depth. The wine then undergoes about one year of aging in oak barrels, a process that softens tannins and acidity, conferring a complex and balanced refinement. Pairings: "Guardiano del Faro Salina" is a versatile wine, perfect to accompany hearty dishes of Mediterranean tradition: aged cheeses such as pecorino and caciocavallo; elaborate sauces like meat ragù or pasta with mushrooms and spices; grilled meats with intense and smoky flavors. Recommended serving temperature: 16°–18°C. It is advisable to decant the wine before serving to fully appreciate its aromatic and gustatory nuances. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Alcohol content: 14.0% Vintage: 2020 Aging: in oak barrels for about one year
