Description

Tenuta di Castellaro came to life after a morning walk in the Piana di Castellaro, back in the summer of 2005. An ambitious project got born that day, and it keeps evolving nowadays.

Massimo Lentsch and Stefania Frattolillo, entrepreneurs from Bergamo, were guided by their love for the amazing Lipari island and wanted to create a real work of art. Tenuta di Castellaro winery is a pure expression of the volcanic territory of the Aeolian Islands, magical and uncontaminated places that have hosted a dream transforming it into a unique reality.

The 2000 square metres winery, built on Lipari Island, is in fact a monument dedicated to landscape, art, architecture and technology, in full respect of nature, people and traditions.

A dry white wine, with a straw yellow colour with bright green reflections, which comes from the combination of the liveliness of Carricante and the aromaticity of Moscato Bianco and Malvasia delle Lipari. The scent is herbaceous and the fruity notes, with hints of apple, make it fresh and balanced.
