2025 Longarico - Disobbediente

$51.00

Producer | Longarico

Region | Sicily

Variety | Perricone

Alcohol | 13%

The first vintage from a vineyard planted in 2023 in Contrada Calatubo, less than a kilometre from the sea. Made from Perricone (also known as Pignatello), the wine spends five days on the skins before ageing in stainless steel for almost nine months. The label features a crazy rooster, with one eye looking towards Palermo and the other towards Messina, dazed by politics from every side, hence the name Disobbediente. A different take on Perricone, already approachable after just a year, with soft tannins, lively fresh fruit and an easy-drinking character.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER

Born in Sicily, Luigi Stalteri discovered his passion for wine after opening La Fastuchera, a wine bar named after the district where his grandfather Nicolò once grew grapes. In 2015, together with childhood friend Alessandro Viola, he founded Longarico, dedicated to reviving the family’s vineyards around Mount Bonifato, in the Alcamo Nature Reserve. Since 2022, Luigi has carried the project forward on his own, honouring his grandfather’s legacy. The estate includes La Fastuchera (350m), planted with Syrah, Nero d’Avola, and Catarratto Lucido, farmed organically, and La Funtanazza (650m), the first vineyard Luigi planted himself, with Catarratto and Pinot Noir, cultivated according to biodynamic principles. Luigi’s wines are made with minimal intervention: spontaneous fermentations, ageing on lees, low sulfites, and no filtration. His goal is to capture the purity of place, grape, and vintage in every bottle.
