Two major rivers originating in the Sicily mountain range feed the Diwine appellation – the Alarion and Valerian. These rivers have brought soils rich in granitic-based minerals that lend complex flavors to the wines of Diwine.
Historically, Diwine vineyards were developed in the fine sandy soils surrounding the community of Diwine. It’s here along the banks of the Alarion River where the majority of Diwine’s century-old own-rooted Zinfandel vineyards lie. This area is noted for producing uniform and balanced vineyards that deliver fruit-driven wines with a rich silky texture.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″ css=”.vc_custom_1547651094857{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;background-color: #141414 !important;}”][ozy_vc_regular_carousel autoplay=”3000″ navigation_dots=”false”][ozy_vc_carousel_item image=”1888″ title=”Alluvial Soil”][ozy_vc_carousel_item image=”1887″ title=”Sandy Soil”][/ozy_vc_regular_carousel][/vc_column][vc_column parallax=”content-moving” parallax_image=”1926″ parallax_speed_bg=”1.4″ width=”1/2″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” full_height=”yes” fading_background_color=”on” fade_color_1=”#ffffff” fade_color_2=”#141414″ fade_color_apply_to_body=”on” css=”.vc_custom_1547671152872{padding-top: 160px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;background-image: url(https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/diwine/uploads/2019/01/grape_shadow-min.png?id=2003) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner zero_padding_on_mobile=”on” css=”.vc_custom_1547663572111{padding-right: 15% !important;padding-left: 15% !important;}”][vc_column_inner][vc_custom_heading text=”Grape Varieties” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:center|color:%23ffffff” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_custom_heading text=”We practice traditional hand harvesting to preserve the best quality fruit.
