Lamoresca

Fifty square kilometres of grain fields separate Lamoresca from its nearest winery neighbour in central Sicily , which suits Filippo Rizzo perfectly. Isolation, he has shown, breeds originality: a tiny operation producing a handful of wines that carry the warm, sandy character of this forgotten corner of the island with complete conviction.

Lamoresca founder Filippo Rizzo grew up in San Michele di Ganzaria in the Gigliotto district of central Sicily. He moved to Belgium, married his Belgian wife Nancy, and opened a restaurant in Brussels focused on traditional Sicilian cooking , one of the first venues outside Paris to champion natural wines. His wine sales representative at the time was Frank Cornelissen, then beginning his own work on Etna. When Filippo decided to return to Sicily to make wine himself, Cornelissen let him use his cellar for the first two vintages while Filippo completed his own cantina. Production began in the early 2000s.
