Malvasia delle Lipari Passito DOC 2018 (500 ml) Salvatore d'Amico
The Malvasia delle Lipari Passito by Salvatore d'Amico is a sweet wine made from Malvasia grapes with a very small percentage of Corinto Nero added. It originates from organic farming and a small plot of just 3 hectares, produced on the island of Salina using and working exclusively with local resources without altering their integrity. After harvesting, the grapes dry in the sun for about 2 weeks, while maturation takes place in oak barrels. A precious Passito rich in intense organoleptic characteristics. Bouquet of dried and syrupy apricot, hints of quince, dried figs, and aromatic herbs, along with forest floor aromas. A Passito that intoxicates, with a fresh-salty contrast and a distinctly sweet tone, never cloying. Excellent.

Salvatore d'Amico
In the enchanting setting of the Aeolian Islands, where the sea embraces the land in an eternal dialogue, lies the winery Salvatore d'Amico, a true enological gem of Sicily. Here, on the island of Salina, viticulture is an ancient art that tells of centuries-old traditions and a passion that runs through the veins of its inhabitants. Salvatore d'Amico, with dedication and respect for the land, has chosen to enhance the grapes that best express the soul of these volcanic lands: Malvasia and Corinto Nero.
The Malvasia delle Lipari, a denomination that speaks of sun, wind, and sea, finds one of its highest expressions in the d'Amico winery. The production philosophy is based on an approach that combines tradition and innovation, with a constant focus on quality. The Malvasia grapes, caressed by the sea winds, are transformed into nectars that encapsulate all the sweetness and intensity of the Mediterranean. The Malvasia Passito, the flagship of the production, is a wine that seduces with its aromas of dried fruit, honey, and candied citrus, offering the palate a velvety and persistent sweetness.
Every sip of the wines from Salvatore d'Amico is a sensory journey through the unique scents and flavors of the Aeolians, an invitation to discover the essence of a land that never ceases to amaze. Let yourself be enveloped by the magic of Malvasia delle Lipari and discover on Vino45 the labels that tell of an authentic and timeless Sicily.

THE COMPANY
The Agricultural Company Salvatore d’Amico is one of the oldest on the island of Salina and is a small family-run business operating in the Municipality of Leni. The history of the company spans three generations: it began with grandfather Antonino Divola in the early 1900s, who established the first winery in Valdichiesa, and upon his death, his daughters Nunzia and Grazia continued the work. In 1972, daughter Nunzia and her husband, Raffaele d’Amico, undertook to renovate the current winery in Leni within an old Eolian house and registered the vineyards as number 8 in the DOC list of Malvasia delle Lipari. In the same year, their son Salvatore, a winemaker and passionate about local traditions, decided to take over the family business and in 1976, with the help of valuable old manuscripts from his grandfather and experiences gained from his parents, produced a high-level Malvasia, revitalizing the activity under the new name Agro-Biological Company Salvatore d’Amico. Over the years, the cultivated vineyard area has gradually increased to three hectares. The planting of new vineyards has been particularly labor-intensive, through the creation of terraced systems by restoring the old dry stone walls, along which caper plants grow spontaneously. From the vineyards, the Company produces four true enological pearls: the Malvasia delle Lipari, the Tenuta Ruvoli, a Salina Rosso, the Tenuta Valdichiesa, a Salina Bianco, and the Léne, a Salina Bianco.
