Barbanacoli

Located in Malfa on the island of Salina, the Barbanacoli estate was founded by Diego Taranto to enhance his family's viticultural heritage through a pioneering agronomic recovery project. Here, the winemaker is defined as an interpreter and guardian of a heroic landscape, where returning to one's roots is paired with the careful management of historical terraced vineyards.

The project stems from the restoration of small plots situated on prime volcanic soils, aiming to preserve local biodiversity and the expressive verticality of indigenous varieties. The focus on manual labor and a deep understanding of the Aeolian microclimate transform every row into a bastion of excellence, capable of reflecting the island's history and geology.
