Winery
The soils of the island of Mozia derive from seabeds of marine origin. They are sandy and loose soils. The presence of limestone is abundant, resulting in an alkaline reaction of the soil (pH 8.2) that affects the organoleptic characteristics of the grapes. The depth of the soil ensures an adequate development of the bushes. The “Marsala-style bow” pruning (a specific style of head-trained bush vines with the branches intertwined, used in the area of Marsala to protect against strong winds) is the most suitable for Grillo grapes, considering the poor fertility at the base of the shoot. The harvest is slightly anticipated with respect to the ideal maturation, so as to preserve some degree of acidity and maintain the freshness of the palate and the longevity that the white wine of Mozia has been able to demonstrate over the years. The trend of the climate on the island of Mozia was characterized by a cool spring, with good rains in March, guaranteeing a good water supply to the vines throughout the production cyde. A very hot and dry summer, which the saplings withstood well, thanks to the typical agricultural approach in the Grillo vineyards on the island of Mozia. The harvest began on August 18th, starting with the young Khoton vineyard, and continued until August 28th with the harvest from the vines of the Eastern Staircase. The result was perfect ripeness and health of the grapes, good sugar content and excellent structure and aroma of the wine.

Region: Sicily

There are few wine regions in the world with such an ideal terroir and climate for viticulture as that found on Sicily. This Italian island has been an important center for wine production for several thousand years, with experts claiming that the ancient Greeks were the first to bring wine-making techniques to the island. The almost year-round sunshine and rich, fertile volcanic soil of Sicily makes the vintner's jobs very easy, and grapevines thrive and flourish more or less everywhere on the island. Sicily is widely renowned for its excellent sweet dessert wines, and for fortified wines such as Marsala, yet the popularity of their dry red and white produce is ever rising, thanks to their drinkability and fantastic fruit flavors which really manage to put across the sunny, almost tropical nature of the island they are grown on.

Country: Italy

Italy is recognised as being one of the finest wine producing countries in the world, and it isn't difficult to see why. With a vast amount of land across the country used primarily for vineyard cultivation and wine production, each region of Italy manages to produce a wide range of excellent quality wines, each representative of the region it is produced in. Any lover of Italian wines will be able to tell you of the variety the country produces, from the deliciously astringent and alpine-fresh wines of the northern borders, to the deliciously jammy and fruit-forward wines of the south and the Italian islands. Regions such as Barolo are frequently compared with Bordeaux and Burgundy in France, as their oak aged red wines have all the complexity and earthy, spicy excellence of some of the finest wines in the world, and the sparkling wines of Asti and elsewhere in Italy can easily challenge and often exceed the high standards put forward by Champagne. Thanks to excellent terrain and climatic conditions, Italy has long since proven itself a major player in the world of wines, and long may this dedication to quality and excellence continue.
