A young couple of Belgian art dealers. 2005 was their first vintage. The wines are sold in Benelux countries and Marco di Grazia advises. Their vines are in Arcuria and Mollarella in Linguaglossa. They made just 3,000 bottles in 2006; 6,000 in 2007.

Small French barriques for 10 months – 25% new. They manage to make a delicate wine despite the barrique effect. There’s lift and quite a lot of richness – lots of pleasure. Maybe it will get a little livelier but it’s already very impressive. Splits the difference between the richness of Passopisciaro and the purity of Graci.
