History

Vignaverde is the estate's Grillo from contrada Samperi, near Marsala, from Guyot-trained vines over 21 years old planted at 3,500 per hectare. The first vintage was 2013 and the wine was introduced between 2014 and 2015; the harvest is brought forward to keep the acidity at its most vibrant.
