Terroir:
We are in Gela (CL), in the sun-drenched south of Sicily, where the sea dunes meet the breeze that gently caresses the vineyards of Casa Grazia. Absolute protagonist is nature, present all around the largest coastal lake in Sicily, included in the natural reserve "Riserva Naturale Orientata Biviere di Gela", sets the rhythm of the seasons and generates a micro- climate in which the vineyard benefit all-year round. In this warm frame, the vineyards sink their roots in sandy and calcareous soils on the shores of the Biviere, giving their fruits a unique and unmistakable minerality, which finds exaltation and completion in the salinity of the sea breeze.
