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.

From this winery
The Augustali farm is located in Sicily between the provinces of Trapani and Palermo. It's situated in the center of Castellammare Gulf, in the most fertile part of Bosco Falconeria between Alcamo and Partinico, a territory so dear to the Emperor Frederik II of Swabia. It was once called "the garden" because of its fertile and charming land. Read more

Excellent with fish dishes, including elaborate, white and fresh meats cooked with citrus fruits (lemon chicken). Its freshness also makes this wine ideal as an apéritif.
