"Cru" wines

Our "Cru" wines are made from Grillo and Nero d'Avola vines grown as small trees, whose grapes are carefully cultivated with animal power and harvested by hand in boxes.

The "CRU" line is destined for a niche market where a premium product is sought that enhances the qualities of the grape variety and the territory in which it is grown.

Zimmari Grillo – D.O.C. SICILY

A pure Grillo wine, obtained from grapes cultivated in reduced pesticide agriculture and nurtured using the "ALBERELLO" method: For the cultivation of this very small plot, we harness the strength of animals. Heavy Rapid Draught horses, equipped with all modern but ancient-concept equipment, are used. For the strictly manual harvest, we use wicker baskets of 10 or 15 kg each, which are then transported to the lorry with a cart. No mechanical means are used in this plot. It may seem like a whim at first glance, but it's the pleasure of the Marquises of Rampingallo to thank Mother Nature by cultivating as it was done in times long past. The strength of animals combined with the arms of men. Both the vine and those who work it endure a significant effort, but the joy and pleasure of obtaining a wine with indescribable qualities compensates for the toil and sweat. We can say that here, there is certainty in extracting from the land its lifeblood, which becomes a wine in very limited quantities, and this will remain so in the future. Expressive power and refinement of tannins are the distinctive elements. A new and authentic voice of Grillo grapes cultivated in the mid-hill area. An excellent interpreter, capable of expressing the best characteristics of this important grape variety from Sicilian tradition with modernity and pleasantness.
