A wish for freedom and self-expression led Giuseppe Cipolla to make wine at Passofonduto, on a hill overlooking the Platani river. A decade of hands-on learning, encounters and experimental winemaking brought him to plant vines in search of harmony between environment, soil, training system, grape and grower.
‘Becoming farmers again’ is at the heart of a project that has returned him to childhood places as their custodian. Now a full-time commitment, it combines experimentation, food production, biodiversity, landscape care, a slower life, hospitality and sharing—a link between his origins and future.
His own bush-trained vineyard grows on clay and limestone with significant gypsum. Artisanal care respects the soil, plants and surroundings. Because the ground changes over short distances, harvesting is parcel by parcel. Spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts continues that attention to terroir in the cellar.
