The first white produced in Pianetto, Ficiligno fully expresses the essence of its native terroir with its mineral rich soil. A wine with an intense and persistent aroma, it is named after a local stone found in abundance in the rural countryside of Palermo. Count Paolo Marzotto was fascinated by the particular appearance that these rock formations give to the landscape and sensed the potential of the local rich and gravelly soils for the creation of fresh white wines.
