Many know the wines of Marilina and Federica Paternò from their 'Sikele' wines. But this wine is from 2006, when their father Angelo Paternò was still making the wines.

Their 60 hectare estate on a hill in the southeastern Sicilian province of Siracusa was formerly known as Tenuta dei Fossi. Angelo thought the land near the town of Pachino was one of the best areas in Sicily for wine. They have been organic since 2001, practice polyculture to nurture and enrich the ecosystem of their vineyard, and take sustainable measures to use recyclable materials and packaging wherever possible.

Despite the advanced age of this 100% Grecanico, it is rich and alive. Instead of becoming a curiosity it stays pleasureable. Deep, lush notes of orange peel, citrus oil, marshmallow root, baking spice, and salt. It's a complex wine with opulence, power, and some caramelized development that is remarkably singular. Jeremy Hernandez and Jonathan Kemp
