The Winery
The 21 hectares of Tenuta di Castellaro are located on the volcanic island of Lipari, north of Sicily. The wild appeal of this magnetic, unspoiled, and remote corner of the world enchanted Massimo Lentsch and Stefania Frattolillo, who quickly decided to start a vineyard in the area. The goal is to produce wines that represent the pure essence of their terroir and to preserve, enhance, and make known the area’s outstanding beauty, while also safeguarding its traditions.
The two entrepreneurs decided to continue the millennial tradition of producing wines from native varieties that have been present on the island for many hundreds of years. Together with wine specialists and consultants from the renowned nursery Pépinières Guillaume, specializing in high-quality wine since 1895, they selected a mass of Malvasia delle Lipari and Corinto Nero vines, which they planted on the fields. Since then, Tenuta di Castellaro has also become the largest cultivator of the local grape Corinto Nero.
The Work
Work on the vineyard is carried out with great care, and everything in the field is done by hand. The stages of the grapes’ ripening are monitored vine by vine, and the harvest dates are carefully selected based on the desired outcome for the individual products.
The Soil
The volcanic soil where the vines grow is a resource of incomparable significance. Volcanic soil varies not only according to the origin of the volcano but especially also by the age of the material produced during eruptions and the time it has taken to solidify. The soil is rich in microelements and minerals.
