Summer is on its way and our
thoughts turn to farmers markets and organic food and wine. Vento Di Mare
Pinot Grigio made with organic grapes in Sicily and
produced and bottled by Cantine Ermes is perfect to drink on its own, pair with food, or use in
cocktail and culinary recipes. The wine has a crisp minerality with pear and
citrus notes on the palate, and is only 12.5% alcohol, making it a perfect
lighter wine choice for summer. We are getting ready for summer, are you?

Information on Cantine Ermes
"The story of Ermes's winery has
its roots in a recent past of destruction and reconstruction. During the night
between the 14th and the 15th of January 1968 a devastating earthquake wiped
out part of the small towns in the Belice's valley such as: Gibellina,
Salaparuta, Poggioreale, Partanna, Santa Ninfa, Salemi, Santa Margherita of
Belice, Montevago and Sambuca of Sicilia. From that same land, where so much
was taken away, a group of young grape growers decided to start over, embarking
themselves onto a path of evolution."
"In 1998 a social and economic
redemption was accomplished by founding Ermes's winery, whose headquarters are
located in the heart of Belice's Valley, between Gibellina and Santa Ninfa
communes. Nowadays Ermes's winery is one of the
most important producers of the whole Island, with its 2,355 members and around
10.000 hectares of vineyards located amongst Trapani, Agrigento, and Palermo's
district. In these areas are grown with passion and sacrifices the best
selection of indigenous and international varietals."
