Slightly inclined and halfway between Noto and Modica, the South oriented vineyards of Contrada Graffetta belong to the municipality of Ispica (Ragusa). The vineyards face the Mediterranean, stretching out over the sea from those chalky grounds that distinguish the
first spurs of the Iblei Mounts. The climate, warm, dry, with a constant breeze, together with the sea-mitigated temperature, turn this territory into the natural and always retained optimal production area for winemaking grape varieties. In addition to the area’s native
grape variety (Nero d’Avola) the great potential of the territory gets its highest expression through the Syrah, where the minerality of the soil enhances the concentration and the fruit.

varietal-bound taste.
