We are located in Alcamo in the province of Trapani, one of the most suitable land in Italy for the production of wines. The company was born three generations ago, including about 25 hectares cultivated exclusively with the biological method, among vineyards, olive groves, vegetable gardens and various arable land of ancient Sicilian grains. The limitation of any type of intervention in the vineyard and in the cellar, the choice to use only natural products, have led the new generations to create a new project. The Criante project, the new name of the company, which from Críare, in Sicilian, means founding, concretizing, realizing and achieving a set goal. And our aim is precisely to enhance the territory, characterize the wines and tell stories of a vintage. The first Criante harvest (in 2019) gave birth to two expressions of our territory on which our family decided to focus, the catarratto and the perricone, to which the grillo and the Nero d'Avola were subsequently added. All different wines because they are manifestations of the respective Contrade of origin. Catarratto is presented in the simple and fresh version but also in the Orange version, with eight days of maceration on the skins. The non-macerated version of catarratto is an explosion of tropical scents, sweet spices and candied fruit. Macerato is an intense and deep wine, with hints of citrus fruits such as orange peel. In the mouth it has juice and a well-defined structure, the result of the realization method but which does not tire the palate thanks to an adequate acid vein, which facilitates drinking. The cricket immediately strikes for its herbaceous notes accompanied by a dry and full mouth. Nero d'Avola maintains its cherry and its freshness on the sip, guaranteeing easy drinking, but we wanted to make it more rounded and long-lived by refining a small part of the total mass in new oak tonneaux. The perricone is offered to the nose with a didactic varietal outfit that refers to a raw material of great quality. In the mouth it is still evolving with fresh tannins which in this phase reinforce the fruit to close with a justly rustic and biting finish. Natural processes have always represented normality, from the field, where the selection of the grapes is manual, to the cellar, where all fermentations are spontaneous and the wine does not undergo any alteration. As per Vinnatur regulations, the sulfur content for whites is less than 50mg / l while for reds it is less than 30mg / l. We have taken this treasure into custody with pride and motivation, jealously preserving the traditions and emphasizing their preciousness. We produce wine in an artisanal way, the terroir is the basis of our production philosophy and our love for the land.
