I can’t imagine a better place to plant an olive grove: overlooking the Mediterranean, enhancing the biodiversity of a land shaped by history and ancient culture.
1,000 trees witnesses of time, silent guardians of a landscape that speaks of harmony between people and nature.

I’ll never get tired of wandering through the vineyards, breathing in the sea breeze, getting lost among wild daisies, and being moved, each spring, by the beauty of new beginnings.

What’s “pasta tronchi”?

It’s a super effective #biodynamic mix I’ve been using on #oldvines for 4 years now. We make it with horn manure (prep 500), antifungal plant extracts (like Equisetum arvense), bentonite clay, and silica.

A great tool for keeping the vines healthy and thriving.

My old ladies just had a beauty treatment: we applied “pasta tronchi,” a biodynamic preparation that strengthens the trunk, nourishes the cambium, and protects the vine from any parasites hiding under the bark.

Standing with U.S. importers, distributors, retailers, restaurant operators, and everyone in the #wine industry as we face the challenges ahead.

Diplomacy is at work to limit the impact of tariffs, but we must continue the fight to protect our industry and livelihoods. Together, we are stronger.

One of the tastiest food & wine match I had this past week: Tivitti Inzolia 2023 with Prosciutto Crudo Siciliano dei Nebrodi

I loved how the salinity in the ham would melt into the wine’s fruit-forward palate and complement its acidity, bringing out rich notes of citrus and stone fruit.

One thousand olive trees are now sitting in my backyard waiting to be planted in #TenutaBelicello.

I can’t think of a better way to contribute to the wellbeing of my homeland, and of myself.

This magnificent Bougainvillea, a nearly 200-year-old resident of #Menfi, is now recognized in the National Register of Monumental Trees.

Dining under the shade of its blossoming canopy is an unforgettable experience.

Today we spent a beautiful morning filling cow horns with fresh manure for #biodynamic preparation 500.

It will stay buried in Dietro le Case vineyard for the next 6 months, before being ready to help us promoting the vital biological activity and energy that will nourish our vines.

I just returned to Sicily after spending 2 weeks in the US - during the election madness.
It just feels so good to be back to my vineyard ❤️
