Caravaglio is a winery in Malfa, on the island of Salina in the Aeolian Islands. The vineyards have been certified organic since 1989 and are worked by hand. In the cellar they use spontaneous fermentations and keep intervention to a minimum. The cellar itself is underground, built into the landscape.
The vineyards are spread across several islands. Malvasia di Lipari grows on Salina and Stromboli, Corinto Nero on Lipari, and Carricante on Vulcano. Salina's Malvasia goes into the dry wines Infatata and Occhio di Terra, and into a passito. Verticale, a dry Malvasia from Stromboli, is made with the Vignedimare agricultural company in collaboration with Andrea Montanari.
The Lipari site sits in the Fossa del Monte crater and includes an ungrafted vineyard that predates phylloxera. It is the source of the wine Scampato.
