BorgoLeo – Sicily

Leonardo Zito is a retired winemaker from Sicily that with the help of 3 sons (1 professional sommelier and 2 engineers) and their wives decided to make a good wine from a single vineyard to drink with the family. They soon realised that it was too good not to share! The result is BorgoLeo, the name coming from Borgo Bonsignore (the town where everything started) and Leo after the man himself. The Syrah is fermented in stainless steel with natural yeast, 30% of the wine spending one year in new French oak barriques from Allier (made by Licausi, one of the last remaining coopers in Marsala). Production: 700 bottles
