The Capofaro estate
Corridors of vines lead straight down from the mountains to the sea; beyond, there's nothing but blue waves and the islands of Stromboli and Panarea. We make sure these are leafy vineyards, with lush vegetation to shade the bunches: shade stops the fruit from burning and the sugars turning to caramel, and brings out all the aromas contained in the skins. Having defended the vines against heat and wind, we protect the grapes during the drying process too: we ensure that the air circulates constantly in our huge storerooms, imitating nature rather than forcing it in a slow drying process which brings out all the sugars in the fruit.

To sleep
For absolute tranquility and guaranteed privacy, Capofaro Malvasia & Resort is a perfect paradise. White-washed buildings nestle in the utter peace and harmony of luxuriant vineyards, overlooking the deep blue sea and bathed in the beguiling glow from the lighthouse (faro) which shines its beam over the property.
Our boutique five-star resort, with its peerless view over the islands of Stromboli and Panarea, nestles amid Malvasia vineyards which sweep down to the azure sea.
It's the ideal place for recharging your batteries with complete relaxation, or for a memorably romantic stay cocooned in a luxury which is both elegantly refined and utterly simple, with attentive, discreet service.
Legend relates that these ancient volcanic islands were created by Aeolus, the god of winds. History shows that they have been inhabited since prehistoric times. Still today, every inch of the Aeolian islands betrays a heady mix of ageless Mediterranean civilisation and sublime, beguiling nature.
