Agricola Milazzo, located in the hills northeast
of Campobello, Licata, has cultivated vineyards and produced
wine for many years. The vines are a passion shared enthusiastically
by the current owner, Giuseppe Milazzo with his
forefathers, who planted them more than 150 years ago on
this site so exceptionally suited to wine grape cultivation.
The Milazzo estate extends for nearly 70 hectares (almost
173 acres) and represents a fraction of the famous former Barony
of Ravanusa, a vast territory of wine production where
the best autochthonic varieties were cultivated and where
some of today’s most essential varieties are grown
for the development of the highest quality wines. Recently,
experimentations and studies have focused on both the best
cultivation of particular vines and the precise blend proportions
to achieve in order to produce an optimal sparkling wine
according to the "Classic Method". In
light of such research, the Milazzo family has succeeded
in producing very healthy vines with a high total acidity:
8.4 – 11.5
g/l with a gradation 16 – 18.5 on the Babo Scale. |
