Ghammi is 100% Nero d'Avola grown in the hinterland of Marsala and Mazara del Vallo in western Sicily. The vines are 10 to 20 years old, trained in the traditional alberello (bush vine) system on clay and limestone soils roughly 6 km from the coast. Grapes are hand-harvested into crates and farmed organically without pesticides, herbicides, or chemical fertilizers.
In the cellar, grapes are destemmed and fermented spontaneously with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks, with 5 days of skin maceration. Pressing is done with a vertical basket press. The wine rests on the lees for 6 months before bottling without fining or filtration. Sulfites are minimal at bottling.
The result is a bright ruby red wine with fresh, expressive aromatics: raspberry, black pepper, Mediterranean herbs, and a saline, citrusy edge on the palate. It drinks with more energy and lift than most warm-climate Nero d'Avola, reflecting the sea influence at this western extreme of the island.
Ghammi is classified as Terre Siciliane IGT. Viteadovest is a joint project of the Portelli-Puleo and Angileri families, with winemaker Vincenzo Angileri overseeing production. The estate spans five hectares across six parcels cultivated for over a century.
