FABIO FERRACANE, Marsala, Sicily, Italy

With a passion for slow cultivation and the uniqueness and beauty of the local territory, Fabio Ferracane builds on his familial history to create dynamic natural wines. These wines represent a persistent determination to craft wine which eschews the biochemical process instead placing emphasis on the delicate relationship between winemaker and wine. Tending to the vineyard passed down through generations, Fabio Ferracane studied oenology and viticulture at university before realizing his philosophy that true wine is not chemistry but territory. The vineyard now includes 5 hectares with two more on the way where the mission to make natural wine motivates each day of work tending the grounds and working the cellar.
