Description
The name of a road, for a wine that is a journey. That of the farmers who already three thousand years ago set off from the countryside with amphorae, and then barrels, and inside the fruit of their labour, toil, joy, still the smell of the earth. The journey of the farmers, even today on their way to their vineyard, between meetings and words exchanged, under the clear sky of the Iblei.

In the first hectare of land next to my palmento, in Fossa di Lupo District, others followed. The firm grew into the Bombolieri, Pettineo and Bastonaca Districts, Yet, everything is still the same as in the first year. Bombolieri is also located on the County Road 68. The vineyard here enlarges and it stoops onto the limestone base of the area, the vineyards are twenty years old if not more, and the court on which the wineries raise themselves is able to trap all the strength of the Ibleian sun. Nowhere else I can feel to have been walking on a coherent road. Never as in Bombolieri I can feel that I'm carrying with me past and future at the same time. It was the oldest wine route ever documented. That road was used by generations of farmers to bring their own wine to the coast. Read more
