A wine that tells about a land, a culture, a mindset. A wine that, beyond the product itself, expresses what Gibellina represents today, thanks to those who made it a city of art: Ludovico Corrao.
The care with which the grapes are cultivated and processed is reminiscent of the care with which a man dedicated himself to make his city grow and express its best, starting from a territory and transforming it into a strong icon, an example of how creativity and commitment can lead to great results.
Carefully chosen among the reliefs that surround the Belice Valley, some particularly suitable vineyards are the place of choice for cultivating the grapes destined to make up the line La Selezione.
Six autochthonous mono-varietals that best represent the peculiarities and nuances of the territory. What makes this possible are the soils which, despite their proximity, they are very different from each other and give each wine unrepeatable characteristics.
Special is everything that shines with its own light. To enhance the individual characteristics, a line was created consisting of unique, special products: a red from slightly dried grapes, a marsala, a late harvest, a charmat, a classic method and a sparkling.
The conditions in which the grapes are grown are special, as are the winemaking methods. Therefore, seven products with a highly recognizable character could only emerge.
Fresh, young, contemporary: these wines express the territory in the way that Tenute Orestiadi knows best, that is the contemporaneity, the result of the continuous meeting and natural merging between Agriculture and Art. Vintage wines, characterized by their simplicity, able to accompany both the expert and the novice taster.
Travelling slowly, with an eye towards the summit, the sinuous curves of the Etna, you arrive in a place protected from the rest of the world. A place where the wind leaves a thin lava powder that enriches the soil. A place where the sun guides the grapes until they are perfectly ripe Nerello Mascalese, Nerello Cappuccino, Carricante, Catarratto And Moscato dell'Etna which allow you to create the Extreme wine line: La Gelsomina.
