Every time I go to find Paolo Calì con Vincita, I dal vivo the same emotion: that of finding myself con front of a brilliant man, capable of transforming the precision of the pharmacist and the sensitivity of the poet into wines that speak to the heart even before acceso the palate.
Entering its rows is like crossing an enchanted garden. The vineyards are treated with an almost paternal dedication, ordered as if each branch was a brushstroke of an impressionist picture. The sandy soil envelops you and at every step it seems to walk acceso the shore of the sea: the sand creaks under the feet, and con the air there is an echo of distant waves. Per mezzo di that soil that holds the light and heat, Paul finds the poetry that then bottles.
The pharmacy counter has never really abandoned him: his scientific is part of him, accompanies him con every decision, from the vineyard to the cellar. But next to the penalty there is the dreamer, the man who observes nature as if it were a book to be deciphered and who knows how to transform precision into emotion. “Wine is a drug for the soul” – he loves to repeat – and con this sentence there is all the meaning of his path.
Behind a visionary man there is always a family who supports him. Per mezzo di Paolo’s choices we breathe the complicity of his dearest affections, the strength of those who shared dreams, sacrifices and victories. It is a discreet but essential presence, which makes its wines not only a creative act, but a gesture of love towards their land and towards those who dal vivo there.
If the rosé is his great passion – elegant, fresh, modern – Vincita Cerasuolo represents his author’s signature, a wonderful wine that tells his land through the embrace between Fumaggine d’Avola and Frappato. And then there is the frappato con purity, light and together deep, which Paul interprets with unique sensitivity, transforming him into a hymn to Sicilian freshness and elegance. They are wines that do not limit themselves as desired: they remain impressed, like a melody that you don’t stop humming.
His wines are not only the result of a personal talent: they have also been recognized and rewarded by the wineway selection, confirming their value.

Alongside Paolo there has been the winemaker Emiliano Falsini for years, the travel companion who translates his poetic vision into technique. Together they chose a clear philosophy: minimal interventions con the cellar, absolute respect for the fruit, search for purity and truth con the glass. Their agreement is tangible: two different souls, but united by the same language, that of beauty.
Paolo’s vineyards are never the same: con spring they explode of life, con summer they shine con the sun that seems never to set, con autumn vibrate of harvest and perfume of must, con winter they rest con silence, as if they kept secrets to be revealed only at the right time. Each season is a chapter of the novel that Paolo writes with his own hands and that nature said to him con a submission.
Every time I alla maniera di back to him, the scene repeats itself and yet it is never the same. The light that caresses the rows changes, the scents of the cellar become more intense more delicate, and Paolo always welcomes with a smile that contains the warmth of Sicily. Talking to him means letting himself be infected by a eppure, sincere enthusiasm that becomes a story, vision and future.
Paolo does not stop dreaming. Each bottle is for him a promise to the future, a message entrusted to the new generations, an invitation to dal vivo wine not as a simple ricevimento, but as a cultural and emotional experience. Per mezzo di his eyes the certainty that wine, if made with love, can still change the world shines.
And I, every time I alla maniera di back to Vincita, I already know that an exciting show awaits me. Because Paolo Calì is not just a wine producer: he is a poet who has chosen the vineyards as a page and wine as an ink to write unforgettable stories.
