SICILIA
ISOLA DI FAVIGNANA
“We are Sicilians, proud of our tradition
and of what our land can produce.
Hence our commitment to recover and
enhance the native varieties of the
Sicilian territory."
Located off the northwestern coast of Sicily between Trapani and Marsala lies the
island of Favignana, the largest of the Isole Egadi.
Ginevra La Cavera, who grew up part time on the island, now dedicates her work
to her life's dream. Proud of her tradition and capabilities of the Sicilian land,
Ginevra is committed to recovering and enhancing native Sicilian varieties.
The farm is run organically with both conviction and passion. They do not use
synthetic chemical substances and fertilization is carried out with green manure
from field beans and wild plants. They reduce tilling to a minimum, trying to
safeguard and increase the balance and biodiversity of the ecosystem and let wild
plants grow between crops and at the edges of the fields.
The farm consists of several plots located in the western part of the island of
Favignana, for a total of about 50 hectares. The main cultivations are olive trees.
They also produce vegetables, aromatic plants, figs, prickly pears, Sicilian black
bee honey and eggs from free and happy hens.
The vineyard covers 4 hectares in which 3 native vines suitable for the territory,
Grillo, Catarratto and Frappato have been planted.
