Rosso

Filippo Rizzo and his wife Nancy left the restaurant industry in Belgium to return to Filippo's native Sicily in 2000, purchasing a remote, abandoned plot populated with ancient 'Moresca' olive trees. Located in a rugged interior plateau roughly 50 kilometers from their nearest winemaking neighbor, they built a self-sufficient, biodiverse natural farming haven from the ground up. Today, Filippo works the land alongside his son, Simone, cultivating vines in a polyculture environment alongside olive trees, prickly pear cacti, and almond trees. The estate's high elevation results in dramatic diurnal temperature swings, which are crucial for preserving acidity and freshness in Sicily’s hot interior.
