Syrah Sicilia DOC - Poggio Graffetta
€10.20
The Graffetta winery is located near Ispica in Southern Sicily, a warm, dry, always ventilated climate where the temperature is mitigated by the sea breeze that make this a natural and optimal area for wine grape production. The subsoil enhances the fruit characteristics and concentration of Syrah, which is highly suitable here, alongside the area’s main grape, Nero d’Avola.

Wine-growing culture in this south-eastern area of Sicily dates back to the traditions of the 18th-century, a period when the region was essentially a vast fiefdom of noble families that managed the region’s rural areas for long periods. Until a few decades ago, the difficult, laborious cultivation of Nero d’Avola and Moscato was carried out manually with the help of mules to drain the land and to transport the wine barrels from the winery to the retailers. The tradition of bottled wine, on the other hand, is a very recent chapter in this region.
The Graffetta winery is owned by the “Tenute Calì” wine group based in Tuscany. They acquired the winery with its 22 hectares of vineyards in 2004. The family behind has a passion for agriculture, good wine and outstanding products and the ambition to continuously improve quality through experience obtained from harvest to harvest.
