Sclavia was born thanks to mr. Granito who used to dream to go back to the country world on a buggy; so in 2003 he bought a land here where he planted native grapes: Pallagrello and Casavecchia, “these strangers”, whereas only in the early years of the new millennium these grapes have been included in the (Italian) National Catalogue of wine grapes, for example, thanks to the work of the lawyer mr. Mancini started in 1997. The route to Sclavia is a bit ‘twisty’ but this is the price to pay to experience the peace of such a campaign; once you get there, the buggy itself welcomes you at the entrance of the company then leaving space to a modern winery: essential but functional.
Granito was then joined by mr. Lello Ferrara as well as mr. Pasquale and ms. Fortuna Morman; the company has about 14 hectares and now has involved the new generation with Lucia Ferrara, Andrea Cardillo and Carmen Granito, supported by the agronomist mr. Pappalardo and the oenologist ms. Anna Gate.
