Paolo Cali’s « Vini delle Sabbie » wine project is truly astonishing! His vineyards are located in the far southeast of Sicily, in Cerasuolo di Vittoria, the island’s only recognised Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita (DOCG). Here, at a similiar latitude to Tunis, about 400kms to the west, he produces fresh, terroir-driven red wines from the local Frappato and Nero d’Avola grapes. As if it was not already hot and dry enough in this southerly part of the world, Paolo planted these vineyards on deep sand dunes, about 9kms from the sea. His Pruvuletta vineyard grows on ten metre deep sandy soils, whilst the soil in his Niscia vineyard is a mix of sand and limestone. Working in his vines in the hot summer months is impossible after 11am as the sand becomes too hot to walk on!
