HOW OUR MACERATO IS BORN ...

On our farms we grow different varieties of grapes. The vineyards extend in three different macro-areas that are located around Alcamo up to a maximum of 15 km away. The vineyards insist on different soils and different microclimates, near the sea or in more inland areas. This diversity is then found in the grapes. There are grapes that have a perfect balance and they deserve to be vinified alone, like those coming from the Camporeale area, while the others have merits but some lacks.

This is where the ability to interpret one's own territory and grapes comes into play. It is from this idea that the "blend" of our macerated white wine is born, for which we used Catarratto grapes from the area of Monreale (internal area) and Grillo and Zibibbo di Alcamo (near the sea). The Catarratto gives the acid shoulder, the Grillo the structure and the Zibibbo the aromatic part.

Maceration binds and integrates these properties. He was born as an experiment and loved it. Fashions pass, wines remain and the world of wine has often been the victim of fashions. We try to build our identity regardless of passing fashions, trying to interpret our territory and our grapes.

About Elios

We are Guido and Nicola, two sicilian friends deeply in love with theri native region. We strongly believe in authentic products, capable of transmitting vibrant emotions, which are the result of love for nature, respect for raw materials and human craftsmanship. In 2015 we left our jobs as consultants to give life to a project of our own: to change the fate of the grapes of our farms, which up to then had been sold on the cheap to industry, and to accord them the dignity they deserve, producing low intervention wines expression of our “terroir”. THE NATURAL WINE PROJECT The idea of producing a natural wine comes from the deep respect we have for nature. Man must, from our point of view, accompany the winemaking process without invasive intervention and the use of synthetic chemicals. Wine should not be a product to be tailored to the taste of consumers, but an expression of nature and of the area from which the grapes come from. For the production of our wines we do not use any chemicals, but simply grape juice and a minimum quantity of sulphites. MODUS BIBENDI wants to comunicate our respect for Nature and the awareness that wine should be a genuine product. The choice is clear, the result is a different way/style (MODUS) to drink (BIBENDI) the wine (”MODUS BIBENDI” are latin words). The winemaking process is done in the cellar of one of our friends in Gibellina (TP), where we bring the grapes of our production. We chose to vinify only Sicilian native grapes. We started in 2015, producing wine with Grillo and Nero d’Avola, sicilian autoctones.
