Tradition for the care of vineyards and technological innovation in the cellars. This is the recipe of the wine company Lanzara di Menfi (Agrigento), a territory that together with Alcamo and Trapani represent the second wine district in the world after Bordeaux.

 

 

The company is located on a promontory of 48 hectares, 270 metres above sea level, and dominates the San Vincenzo Valley, in a landscape fraught with vineyards, olive trees, citrus trees and prickly pears. “The vineyard that produces wine is 25 hectares wide” explained the company manager, “and the land, of chalky origin mixed with sand, exalts the aromatic qualities of the grapes, allowing a natural hydration of the plants, and a perfect balance between production and quality”.

 

This is how Lanzara obtain their products, among which there are also two spumante: Rosa D’Avola, a rosè extra dry obtained by the monovarietal Nero D’Avola grapes processed at a controlled temperature, and the Costanza, an extra dry spumante of Grecanino. As far as the wines are concerned, apart from the Elitre, monovarietal Grillo, and amongst the red wines a blend of Nero D’Avola and Cabernet Sauvignon, Terre dell’Istrice and the cru of the company, the Cromazio, in the company there is also the San Vincenzo line, with a white and a red wine, that take the name of the company, the real centre of the activities.
