The Tonda Iblea came later in my life when I started producing wine in Vittoria. And soon I fell in love with these secular trees of Piraino district in Chiaramonte Gulfi. I wait for the oil at the oil mill as a birth. It is a strong tradition, which marks the end of every year of my grape harvest and the beginning of autumn. The season that I love.
