The Natives

History tells us that Noah’s first act of reconciliation with
the land after leaving the Ark at the end of the Great
Flood was to plant a vineyard; a symbolic gesture, marking
a marriage with the land, sealing a bond which was to give
fruit: grapes and wine.
The Tenuta di Castellaro winery is the achievement of
an ambitious project, where passion and a dream come
together in a perfect combination, creating unrivalled
excellence. The ancient vine, grown organically in 20
hectares of vineyard, yields precious fruit, the basis for
sought-after blends with a unique flavour, the pure
expression of the volcanic soils of Lipari and Etna, pristine
locations that have embraced us with their harsh natural
environment.
Tenuta di Castellaro is a monument to landscape, art,
architecture and technology, which entirely keeps faith with
nature and traditions:
• The barrique cellar completely underground and
built in vernacular style, recounts different geological areas
through its arches and pillars: 22,000 years of history create
a magical environment where our wine ages in its oaken
casks;
• The windcatcher tower used by ancient populations
since the X Century BC, has been built with state-of-theart technologies: it comprises a chimney and a cooling
labyrinth, which create a natural air-conditioning system;
• The landscape recalls to mind fragrances and flavours
which generate unforgettable sensations;
• The sun which at sunset plunges into the sea between
Alicudi, Filicudi and Salina, provides the most romantic
vision of what nature can offer.
