Producer Alessandro Viola

SICILY

Alessandro Viola's company is located in Alcamo, in the province of Trapani. Alessandro, a winemaker with various national and European experiences, loves taking care of all the stages of wine production, from the agricultural management of the vineyard to the wine-making operations of the grapes. His philosophy is very simple, making wine using grapes as the only ingredient, this is not only for ethical reasons but for a belief matured over the years that producing pure wine is not only possible but that the result is better. The same approach in agriculture, i.e. making the land independent of fertilizers and herbicides by relying on the natural fertility of the soil capable of renewing itself provided that man does not disturb the balance. "There is a perfect chemical balance in wine, only nature can go so far, who are we to do better than nature?" Alessandro Viola. Today the company includes 7 hectares of vineyards planted with Grillo, Nero D'avola, Nerello Mascalese and Uve Catarratto, most of the vineyards are located in the district of Pietra Rinosa, in the Alcamese hinterland, the remainder on Monte Bonifitato , a mountain overlooking the city of Alcamo. Alessandro Viola gives rise every year to a small niche production, divided into seven labels between white and red.
