“Passofonduto” is a place, a land, a house, and the beating heart of a project born in 2014. Set in Platani Valley, along the border of Agrigento and Caltanissetta provinces, this chalky – sulfur rich area of Sicily, surrounded by large chalky rocks, wooded areas, aromatic and spontaneous grasses, vegetable gardens, cereals, olive groves, almond and fruits trees.

The true power of this winery owned, comes from the technique called “Alberello” (derived from ancient Greek viticultural techniques – the wine have no wires or support and grow low and densely in the vineyard), on the clayey -calcareous soil with an important presence of chalk with craftsmanship respecting the soil, the grapevine and the environment.

To enhance the soil aspect that changes “from palm to palm”, (palm ancient unit of measurement, is the length of the hand), the harvest is done in stages, the winemaking is artisanal and fermentations are spontaneous thanks to the indigenous yeasts work that participates to the Terroir effect.
