Armosa Moscato Bianco ”Salipetrj” Terre Siciliane IGT
The name derives from the area of rock and minerals (‘pietra salata’) where the vineyards are located. It is an unconventional Moscato Bianco, the result of concentrating more on the grape variety itself while keeping the typical white wine-making process in the background, thus rediscovering and enhancing the varietal’s aroma profiles and integrity.

Winery Profile
- Azienda Agricola Armosa is a small winery located in the comune of Scicli in the province of Ragusa. The first vineyard of “Nero d’Avola” was planted in 2003 in a terroir especially chosen for its sandy tufa soil and for its immediate proximity to the sea.
- The Armosa philosophy is to enhance the reputation of Nero d’Avola, Sicily’s premium indigenous vine, by growing it in a variety of terroirs so as to produce quality wines with a distinct personality that personify the territory itself.
- The town of Scicli is a Unesco Heritage Site for its baroque beauty and lies at the confluence of three valleys that have strongly influenced its life through the centuries. These valleys, because they are among the fundamental aspects of this territory, compose the stylized Armosa logo.
