Produced exclusively from grapes grown on the Il Censo estate outside of Palazzo Adriano, vineyards are farmed organically and grapes are harvested manually. The grapes maintain contact with the skins for two to three weeks, the length of the maceration depending on the vintage; only indigenous yeasts are used during fermentation and no temperature controls are utilized; the wines is bottled unfined and unfiltered.

The Praruar, means 'golden' in the once-locally-spoken Greek and Albanian. Aromas and flavors of local volcanic subsoil, nuts, fennel, and iron. Rich and deep, yet still elegant, this balanced expression of one of Sicily's most exciting white varieties combines acid, extract, structure and salinity into a rich and intriguing wine.
