Calamoni di Favignana

The Calamoni Estate is located on the central-southern side of the island, just a short distance from the sea. The vineyard covers just over 5 hectares, enclosed by the traditional dry stone walls. The soil here is truly unique. The island of Favignana offers a unique and unrepeatable habitat. Most of the Mediterranean islands are volcanic or granitic in nature.

However, the soil at the Calamoni estate consists of a platform of Quaternary limestone, formed under the sea over millions of years and composed of fossils: shells or fish bones sedimented and absorbed by the pressure that the sea exerts on the seabed. The land is open to the wind, which blows constantly from the sea, in breezes or stronger gusts, towards this strip of land.

Borgo Guarini

Set on a hilltop, its lands slope down towards the alluvial plain of a stream. This area, is distinguished by the complexity of the soil and climate conditions, which change from one zone to another, and its variety of orography. The range of altitude and the complex weather conditions, which can vary considerably from one area to another, characterize this estate.

This variability exists alongside an eclectic and multifaceted differentiation in terms of orography. There are 12 soil orders in the world, seven of which can be found in Sicily and Borgo Guarini contains three of them: Entisoils, Inceptisoils and Vertisoils. This richness of orography provides the right type of land for every single vine but it also increases the variety of soils for each kind of vine.
