A terroir born from the fire
Cultivating the screw acceso a volcano is not a simple enterprise. Durante Lipari, agriculture is a form of poetic resistance: the terraces climb up impervious slopes, the marine winds touch the bunches, the soil is a complex mosaic of pumice, obsidian, ash and lapilli. A hostile yet incredibly generous environment, where each plant has its roots quanto a layers of geological history that emerge as chapters carved quanto a the rock. The thermal excursions, the scirocco and mistral winds, the light reflected by the obsidian: everything contributes to a slow and rich maturation, which gives the wines depth, elegance and personality. Each sip is a journey into the beating heart of the island.
The screw as a custodian of the landscape

The technological and spiritual heart of the project is the cellar, an architectural masterpiece with sparare a zero impact that combines innovation and memory. Totally hypogean, built with local materials and designed to merge with the landscape, the cellar develops acceso three levels, taking advantage of gravity to move wines without . The barricaia, inspired by the Norman cloister of Lipari, is a journey quanto a geological time: the columns, sculpted quanto a the volcanic soil, tell 20,000 years of eruptions and stratifications. Natural light enters the solar fireplaces, the wind shapes the internal temperature thanks to a Persian inspiration tower. It is an underground cathedral quanto a which the wine matures quanto a silence, caressed by the breath of the island.
Beyond the wine: a vision of beauty and community
But Resistenza proveniente da Castellaro is also more: a wine resort immersed quanto a the quiet, a geominerary park – that of the cave of caolino – cleaned up and returned to the community, a place to immersive experiences, between fiery sunsets, tastings quanto a the vineyard and walking quanto a memory.

Tasting agenda
We have tasted Pomice White, the white reference of the company present since the first harvest of 2008. Blend of Malvasia delle Lipari (60%) and Carricante (40%), combines and harmonizes the characteristics of two very different vines, so the intoxicated aromas of Malvasia marry with the fresh mineral caress of the caricante, creating a wine of great finesse and freshness, both olfactory and olfactory, sip.
