This is the western part of the island, in the province of Trapani, the dead-center of the Mediterranean Sea. The Adragna family are the third generation to farm this land, though they have much deeper roots in Alcamo. Criante’s operations are divided between 15 hectares of farmland (olives, legumes, eggs, heirloom Sicilian wheat and grains, fruit/vegetables including dry-farmed tomatoes) and 15 hectares of grapevines (Catarratto, Grillo, Nero d’Avola, Perricone). They own Sicilì Bottega Biologica, a small food and wine market in downtown Alcamo, where they sell all the things, including products from other like-minded Sicilian food and wine producers. Their vineyards are divided between the towns of Alcamo (Contrada Modica—slightly more coastal, more sand in topsoil) and neighboring Calatafimi-Segesta (Contrada Valle—slightly more inland, more clay in topsoil). Though both areas fall within the confines of the Alcamo DOC, they prefer to use IGP Terre Siciliane or DOC Sicilia, as the parameters for Alcamo DOC are geared to fairly conventional wine.
