Description

The company's vineyards stretch across the gentle hilly landscape between the provinces of Trapani and Palermo in the centre of the Gulf of Castellammare. From the interpretation of a unique terroir come the Contrasto wines, named after the poetic style of Ciullo d'Alcamo and his famous Rosa Fresca Aulentissima. A wine of great amplitude and elegance, pleasantly citrusy with notes of balsamic Mediterranean herbs and saline returns. Excellent acidity and a very persistent finish.
