We have always believed that a winemaker's personality should reflect clearly in the wines they make. In Carmela's case, this couldn't be more true. Happy energy? Check. Clear and Precise? Check. Sunny and lively. Check and check. There was no way here wines would be anything different, and they truly did not disappoint. 

The farming area surrounding the city of Siracusa is a seaside landscape of sandy fertility. Lemon orchards rule the day, but so do mangos, nut trees, potatoes, leeks, and of course vineyards. But vines do not predominate. In fact, they are minor, and they are just another part of a rich polyculture for farming in southeast Sicily. But in Carmela's case, it is her 4 hectare parcel of the nearly lost grape called Moscato di Siracusa that makes her plantation such a treasure. Two millennia ago, when grapes were brought by the Romans or Greeks, it is believed to have been a cousin of Moscato that first arrived. Today, it remains that Moscato is Siracusa's north star for winemaking, and Carmela's are the top of the line.
