We are in the province of Trapani, the area most planted in Europe, despite the abundant wine explants implemented in recent years by many growers on the basis of input Europeans, because the prices of the grapes have now reached the limit of economy levels. Only tenants who made directly manage their own grapes to make sense of this ancient and fascinating craft of art. In our part of the Natura is, in all its forms and manifestations, very exuberant, sometimes gushing, cloying. The Sicilian vintner knows this, and endeavor with all his strength, if not to dominate, at least to correct it, contain it.
Ceuse The farm is nestled in the beautiful and unspoilt of the City of Agro Calatafimi Segesta and covers a total of about 50 hectares. Leaving the motorway A29 Palermo-Mazara del Vallo at the junction of West Alcamo, we put in the SS 113, which run until the entrance of the provincial 11. If instead of turning left onto the main road, continue for about another 10 miles, everyone would recognize one of the most picturesque streets the world: the same which can be found in the now legendary "The Godfather Part III by Francis Ford Coppola, when Al Pacino (aka Don Corleone) arrives in Sicily: a long straight and scenic backdrop of the majestic Doric Temple of the fifth century. BC, which dominates the landscape (even if the place is in the film, deliberately identified with Bagheria). Operating since 1998, and has always been very well suited for the Reds since 2004 also produces a white wine really remarkable and in many ways "out of the choir." The three brothers Melia, owners and founders of the company, from a vineyard of about 3 hectares of Agro site in Salem, who married oenologically two classic grapes of great Sicilian thickness, with the cricket and grecanico allochthonous excellent white, all over the world, the conqueror: the chardonnay. The first, which has been concerned in recent years, bold and often misleading interpretations "sauvignoneggianti, usually produces a mellow wine (this is the main grape used in the production of Marsala). The second, usually gives rise to outcomes characterized by freshness and fruity. Chardonnay, Sicily, as in other parts of the world, has shown a remarkable versatility aromatic, but also a different quality yield in relation to agricultural and winemaking techniques used. The dark black 2009 is a magnificent example of modern Sicilian white wine, pale yellow straw with a small but beautiful golden reflections, great clarity and consistency. The color suggests a warm white, full-bodied. The nose is explosive, explosive, almost looks like a semi-aromatic, has intensity and complexity, despite its youth, with that great mix of notes of yellow fruit (pineapple) and citrus, floral notes (Mediterranean, broom), vegetables (leaf tomato just mentioned) and herbs (basil, mint, rather than net). The mouth, in spite of the expectations, especially fresh, intense, with a nice flavor and confirmed in its entirety as joyously pointed to his nose. E 'body, no doubt, but there is not no surprise, balance, harmony. The pleasing citrus notes confirmed in the final, following a lingering taste and smell, the joy of complete sensory journey undertaken.
leave the company tired but happy, with lungs full of fresh air, scented by the warm influence of an exuberant Sicilian July, and with exultant hearts of joy for all that we tasted: wine (amazing and unforgettable), the places (the beam century tufa stone and the rolling hills and vineyards), people (delicious and passionate). Despite being a land burdened by problems of any kind, is at times like this that you are deleting those fleeting desires to flee to other shores, which are considered (often wrongly) best. So comforting, beauty and charm of that beautiful part of Sicily greet us in the wake of a moving and golden sunset at the end of a peaceful and sunny afternoon in midsummer.
characterized by an acid / soft slightly in favor of the first and the intensity of taste and smell, I put it together at the end of the evening Scurati 2009 to a white risotto with zucchini and shrimp, a dish very sweet summer trend marked by ( zucchini and shrimp), spicy (black pepper) and aroma (fresh chopped parsley). It came out of a marriage sensory really not bad, certainly better than many marriages I know. As Woody Allen said, "is at least in the art that we try to reach perfection, because it is so difficult in life. " Crown Caramel
