Welcome to Episode 1586, in which Cynthia Chaplin interviews Gianluca Calì of the Al-Cantàra winery in this installment of Voices, on the Italian Wine Podcast. Al-Cantàra won the Gran Vinitaly 5StarWines “Winery of the Year” and the “Best Rosé Wine” for its Etna DOC Nerello Mascalese Rosato Amuri di Fimmina e Amuri di Matri 2021. More about today’s guest From the happy intuition that a good wine is "poetry" and to make it takes "art", Al-Cantàra was born in 2005. Since the beginning, the winery has established itself at a national and international level thanks to the high quality of its wines, recognized by several important awards and, last but not the least, by the amazing results achieved both at Vinitaly, where with seven wines reported in the 5 StarWines - The Book, Al-Cantàra has been the second most awarded winery in Sicily and the sixth in Italy, and at Decanter where, with a gold medal and two silver medals, Al-Cantàra has been the first winery of Etna for number of important awards. These results have been achieved thanks to the care with which all our workers manage the vineyards and to the professionalism of our winemaker, Salvatore Rizzuto, graduated in Alba and with experience in Bordeaux and Langhe. The sophisticated and modern packaging is another distinctive feature of the products Al-Cantàra, whose unmistakable labels are embellished by the suggestive representations of young Sicilian artists, among which lately Annachiara Di Pietro, that exalt the traditions, the culture and the Etna territory.
