We wanted to call Al–Cantàra our company because the wine comes from grapes grown in the territory of Randazzo, in Contrada Feudo, lapped by the river Alcantara, which in Arabic means "bridge". The "bridge" as mean and as a symbol of union of three factors: poetry, art and wine. A good wine is "poetry" and to do that "art" is needed.
This is the message our company wants to convey. No coincidence that we have called the red wine "o’ scuro o’ scuro" from the title of the anthology of Sicilian sonnets by poet Nino Martoglio, and the white wine " luci luci", from " luci luci picuraru", those fireflies of which the poet speaks in the first of his sonnets. The other products have names of poems by Martoglio, too. We thank Prof. Sarah Zappulla Muscarà for the anastatic prints of the poems and Alfredo Guglielmino for creating unique labels.
