Upper Lighthouse, Messina

Faro is a micro-denomination with just 25 hectares and only 5 producers.

Giovanni Scarfone di Bonavita is one of them, a young micro-viticulturist born in 1980, first harvest in 2006, and in this area he owns 7 hectares of which only 2.30 are under vines, the rest are destined for olive groves and woods.

The strange thing is that in this area threatened by concrete, everything tells you about Sicily.

The sea is a stone’s throw away but when trying these wines your first thoughts immediately fly to austere Piedmont with its Barolos. Magic and mystery of wine.
