Azienda Agricola Calogero Caruana

Calogero Caruana

The company is located in southwestern Sicily, with headquarters in Montallegro (AG). The land lies above the Torre Salsa Reserve, near the Scala dei Turchi and next to Lake Gorgo.

4 hectares of vineyard, not yet fully productive; 2 hectares of olive grove; 1.3 hectares of almond grove (old trees being restored). I do not use any pesticides on either the almond or olive grove, except for weed control and soil tillage. In the vineyards, I use animal manure, green manure, sulfur, and copper (<500g/ha), applied by hand and/or with a caterpillar track. All fermentations occur spontaneously, and my interventions in the cellar are minimal and essential, ensuring that fermentations and refinements occur as smoothly as possible. I currently have no certifications, even though I already work organically.
