 Producer:
Palari
Region: Sicilia
DOC(G):
Faro
About the Producer:
Sicily’s
most elegant wines come from this small producer located in the
hills around Messina. The winemaking philosophy under Salvatore
Geraci is simple: make two wines with the same indigenous grapes
but with different selections. His Rosso del Soprano, a blend based
on a wine known in antiquity as Mamertino, comes from the
native
nerello
mascalese, nerello cappuccio, and nocera grapes.
The primary wine to be featured from Palari is Faro. Here the wine
includes a finer selection of the same grapes to make this a Tre
Bicchieri
winner. Faro (which means lighthouse) is a little DOC, almost the
smallest in Italy. With just above 6 hectares (15 acres) in the
DOC area,
the production is clearly tiny. Sicily's increasing
focus on modern production techniques and international varieties
has had some great success, as at the Planeta estate; but Palari
provides a refreshing respite from this trend with their great
indigenous wines.
