Her family has been grape producers for three generations. From her grandfather who planted the first indigenous vineyards in the early 1920’s to her father who walked in his parent’s footsteps and selected the grape varieties which would best adapt to the land’s micro-climatic conditions. Her commitment is to produce high quality wines only with the grapes grown and selected in their 30 hectares in Tenuta Belicello, only a few steps away from the Mediterranean Sea while continuing to carry on her father’s dream. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wine is made from 100% Inzolia, a native varietal to western Sicily which remains its home as its grown basically nowhere else in the wine world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"wineCRAFT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31531854331927,"sku":"Italian:IT201CB001-24","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/9076\/4311\/products\/Barbara_InsoliaMeni-01.jpg?v=1650560404"},{"product_id":"naturale-sicilia-vermouth-rosso","title":"Naturale, Sicilia Vermouth Rosso","description":"\u003cp style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" class=\"\"\u003eVariety: Nero d’Avola fortified with a secret recipe of botanicals\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eGiusto Occhipinti of COS is one of the most critical names in Italy. COS was founded by three friends to make traditional wine with respect for the place the grapes are grown. During their first harvest in 1980, they were the youngest wine producers in Italy. The acronym of their three last names forms “COS.” They were early adopters to Biodynamic farming, starting a movement on the island, which are still golden standards. The friends are hard workers, using an old winery given to them by a family friend and opting to use terracotta vases for ageing, a completely neutral vessel. Sicily has just one DOCG—Cerasuolo di Vittoria; the friends were the first winery to bottle a DOCG wine in Sicily. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eCOS is located in Vittoria, the farthest tip of southeastern Sicily. The area recalls that of Africa, with its climate and land of red, ochre, and yellow tones. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGiusto Occhipinti and a local Sicilian chocolate producer teamed up to make a line of vermouth made with both Sicilian and Sicilian herbs and botanicals.
