A piece of archaic history of Sicily, dating back to the myth of Scilla and Cariddi, is enclosed all in this company and in its emblematic wine: the lighthouse. In the ancient villa of the 19th century Sicilian, the PALARI farm has been resumed since 1990 the production of this ancient and noble wine, whose heart sinks its roots in the Contrada Pallari of S. Stefano Briga di Messina, where the vineyards ad Alberello dominated hills from the vertiginous slopes naturally overlooking the sea and caressed by the winds of the Strait of Messina. Style, elegance, overwhelming sympathy and lots of competence are the skids shown with class and nobility from the patron patron, Salvatore Geraci. A concentrate so explosive to find itself as energy itself in its wines, the red of the soprano and the lighthouse. Nectars composed of mascalese nerellet grapes, hood and nocera, always been at the center of our attention for great sapid borders, capable of perfectly embodying the spirit of that Sicily divided between seas, mountains and hills, beaten twenty and cradled by a belly Hot flowing in the bowels of the ground. The reincarnation made wine of the four elements of the planet: earth, fire, water and air. We will have to wait next year for the tasting of the 2017 soprano red, which still rests in the dwelling of him. The lighthouse instead is a wine capable of materializing its essence, similar to something concrete and not of abstract, not just perfumes and flavors, but contact with the body, caressing breath that warms the soul and the heart, like a hug love. Here then that it is enough to imagine sipping this wine, to stimulate a parallelism with the greatest embrace of love that has ever been realized in a work of art, unique and world-renowned, like that of "love and psyche" of Canova. One of the most beautiful love legends ever. To write it was, in the second century D.C, the Latin writer Apuleio in the "metamorphosis" of him. Metaphor of the Eternal Battaglia between rationality and instinct, between heart and brain, the legend tells the story of the God Love (Cupid) and the beautiful psyche. For us the lighthouse is the symbol of a genius and a detergateness that translates into a divine love.
