After 13 years of having a restaurant in Belgium, Filippo returned to this hometown in Sicily where he became a fulltime farmer and winemaker.
The agricultural farm “Lamoresca” is situated in the heart of Sicily, in the small town of San Michele di Ganzaria.
He started the farm in the year 2000 with a small olive grove, today he cultivates 25 hectares of vines, olive trees, prickly pears and other fruit trees. Lamoresca, is the only winery in this area southwest of Catania, which is a combination of compressed sandstone soils mixed with calcium and iron rich clay. The vines are a mix of Nero d’Avola, Grenache, Nerocapitano (Frappato) and Nerello Mascalese for the reds, and Vermentino Corso, for the white wine; all of which are worked with any use of chemicals.
The wines are naturally fermented without temperature control and only minimal sulfur is used if deemed absolutely necessary.

Maxime Graillot, a larger-than-life vigneron (and son of legendary winemaker Alain Graillot), has the same innovative and forward-thinking spirit as his father. In 2004, to cement the family’s name in the Northern Rhône, Maxime managed to acquire quite a few vineyards situated in the Beaumont-Monteux commune of Crozes-Hermitage.
In the cellar of the family run Domaine Mader located in the heart of Alsace, there is a small sign hanging just below one of the windows saying “Nos vins sont sec” – Our wines are dry. This is a pretty acute statement from Jérôme Mader, who has been running the estate since 2005.
One of the few wine producing domaines left in the small village of Montaigu in the southern part of the Jura in France. They have been practicing organic and biodynamic farming since the late 1990s.
