WINES FROM SICILY Concilio entered a long term contract with growers and a winery in Sicily to enable the company to produce premium wines from some of the best regions of Italy. Concilio made agreements with specially selected vineyards in the Val del Belice, Salemi and Vita regions of western Sicily, Riesi and Racalmuto in the central Sicily from which to acquire quality grapes. To ensure production efficiencies and total control of production, Concilio employs on site agronomists & winemakers. They manage the first production phases of the white wines (grape crushing and temperature stabilization of the must) and up to the fermentation of the red wines. They operate under the supervision of the head winemaker of the company. The must for the white wines and the red wines are then brought in refrigerated tanks to our state of the art facilities in Trentino for fermentation of the white wines and aging of the red ones. Bottling and shipping is made by Concilio from its headquarter located in Volano, south of Trento. Concilio has a yearly production of 700,000 cases. The reason for this elaborate procedure is, again, greater production efficiencies and total control over the quality of production. The entire process is under the complete control of Concilio who has been making wine for over 150 years. www.paoloboselli.com 2010©
