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 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.
