This women-owned, certified organic estate run by sisters Clara and Annamaria Sala lies near the coast in Mazara del Vallo, surrounded by a protected bird sanctuary and formerly part of Cantine Pellegrino. Their collaboration with Mary Taylor centers on a single-parcel Grillo from the 1-hectare Contrada San Nicola, a sandy limestone slope close to the sea where constant Mediterranean breezes and salt air shape the wine’s character. The grapes are hand-harvested in mid to late August, pressed immediately, and briefly skin-macerated before fermentation in stainless steel, followed by short lees aging and bottle rest. The result reflects careful farming, minimal handling, and a clear link to site, with freshness and mineral tension at the core.
