Ruby red. Red fruits, hints of spice. Tannic, balanced.

Corinto Nero is a native grape variety of the volcanic Aeolian Islands. The vineyards are located on Lipari, in the old crater of Fossa del Monte.  The Caravaglio winery's Corinto Nero is produced from centuries-old vines facing south at an altitude of 300 meters above sea level. The wine rests partly in oak and partly in steel for a year, and the result is a ruby-red, very balanced wine.

Il Corinto Nero dell'azienda Caravaglio è prodotto da vigne centenarie sull'isola di Lipari, esposte a sud ad un'altitudine di 300 metri sul mare. Il vino riposa in parte in rovere e in parte in acciaio per un anno, e il risultato è un vino dal colore rosso rubino, molto equilibrato.

Cantina Caravaglio's Scampato Salina Rosso is made from 100 percent Corinto Nero grapes, a variety indigenous to the island of Salina. The vineyard , free standing with more than 100 years of age, is located on Lipari in the Fossa del Monte, an 'ancient crater, on soil rich in sand, pumice and volcanic ash that gives the wine its particular aromatic complexity. In 2018 the Fossa del Monte vineyards were restored to full production in 2020. The Caravaglio Winery is passionately dedicated to each stage of the production process, which is carried out exclusively by hand to preserve the authenticity of the winemaking tradition. The production process is characterized by special attention. Harvesting is done manually in mid-September, ensuring the highest quality of the grapes. Fermentation in contact with the skins lasts about 30 days and part of the grapes are fermented whole cluster, giving the wine more structure. Aging takes place in 500-liter wooden barrels for at least 18 months, contributing to an extraordinary depth of aromas.

Malvasia delle Lipari Passito doc from Azienda Agricola Biologica Caravaglio is the jewel in the crown of passito malvasia production, a history of the Aeolian islands.

Composed of 95 percent Malvasia grapes and 5 percent black Corinth grapes, placed to dry in the sun on traditional cannizzi for 15 to 20 days, after vinification the Malvasia is aged partly in oak and partly in steel for six months, and then six more months in the bottle.

Bright caramel yellow. Mediterranean stain, fruit, citrus, flowers. Elegant, complex, pungent, full-bodied, fresh.

"Verticale" by Caravaglio is a white wine made from Malvasia grapes grown on the volcanic island of Stromboli. The wine is distinguished by its dark caramel color, bright and shiny. The nose has powerful hints of Mediterranean scrub, walnut and molasses, while the palate is initially grumpy and pungent, then explodes into notes of dried apricot, raisins and candied ginger. Fermentation and aging take place in oak barrels for about a year, giving the wine intense aromas of stone fruit, citrus and flowers. "Verticale" is elegant, complex, full-bodied and fresh, ideal with vegetarian dishes, fish, shellfish, crustaceans and white meats. Viticulture in Stromboli, once renowned, suffered a long crisis until its recent rebirth thanks to the efforts of Nino Caravaglio and other winemakers. Their project, Vignedimare, led to the planting of new vines in 2016, and after four years of care and labor, they have reaped their first benefits, producing 300 liters of wine. This wine represents not only the revival of an ancient tradition, but also an enhancement of the island's unique terroir.
