Criante is located in the western part of Sicily, in Alcamo in the province of Trapani. The Adragna family has been farming this land for three generations, but it was only in 2019 that Davide Adragna and his wife Irene Figia saw their first harvest under the name Criante, which brings together all their farming activities. Their efforts are divided between nearly 40 acres of farmland (including heirloom Sicilian wheat and grains and dry-farmed tomatoes) and roughly the same amount of vineyard land, planted to the native varietals Carricante, Grillo, Mero d’Avola and Perricone. They alsoown Sicilì Bottega Biologica, a small food and wine market in downtown Alcamo. This wine is 100% estate-grown Perricone done in stainless steel and aged on the lees for eight months; it is fresh and brightly fruited, with the fruit balanced by good acidity and an enveloping tannic structure.
