Centopassi is a cooperative which is part of the Libera Terra movement, who work with confiscated mafia land, making lawful work for locals with better pay and benefits, whilst rejuvenating the land into sustainable agriculture and most importantly a corruption free environment. Named after a true story based on the political activist who opposed the Sicilian Mafia, ‘I Cento Passi’ means 100 steps, representing the distance between protagonist Peppino Impastato and that of the house of renowned mafia boss Tano Badalamenti.
From the Giabbascio Pietralunga and Verzanica vineyards, planted on the Belice Corleonese plateau. These two grape varieties are widely grown in western Sicily and used to be mostly used to make Marsala. They make very good white wine too! Brisk hints of herbs, apple, and mandarin orange. Delicious and shockingly good.
