Producer Bonavita

SICILY

Giovanni Scarfone, lever 1980, is one of the five producers of Faro, a denomination that lies on the hills of Messina, overlooking the Straits of Messina, where they meet the Mar Ionian and the Tyrrhenian Sea. John owns 7 hectares for vineyards, olive groves and woods. The hectares of vines are around 2.5 and they are on steep terraces at an altitude of between 250 and 300 m. S.l.m. Surrounded by a forest of oaks and chestnut trees, to form a natural amphitheater. Vineyards cultivated with native seeds, Nerello Mascalese, Nerello Cappuccio and Nocera, with an ages of 10 to 80 years old. John does only natural agriculture to respect fauna and flora; The use of chemical fertilizers, no use of herbicides and insecticides, but only the use of copper and sulfur. Same care also in the cellar without additives of chemical additives, long macerations and long refinements. This is the thought of John's productive philosophy; Time will give the wines the right expression of the territory and our being vintners.
