Due Terre
Due Terre Wines is a collaborative effort between friends. Made from the indigenous grapes of Sicily and certified organic. All the wines are produced as 100% pure varietals with minimal intervention and wine-making in order to allow the characteristics of the grape to shine through. Sicily has the largest number of organic vineyards in Italy and produces more grapes of quality than have a home in IGT and DOC bottling.
The labels use drawings of the traditional marionettes used in Orlando Furioso and other plays in the Opera dei Pupi (the roots of which stretch back to at least the 15th century). In Sicily, this form of entertainment uses wooden marionettes on strings and metal wires instead of hand puppets made of cloth. Although the tradition is becoming less common, the Opera dei Pupi has not died out completely and there are now actions being taken to preserve this unique folk art.
