Natural wine and cooking, at the mouth of Cava d'Ispica

Mosto is two things in one place: a natural wine cellar and a fifty-seat kitchen, on rock terraces inside the canyon.

The cellar

Natural wine, independent growers

Skin-contact, pét-nat, biodynamic, no added sulphites. A short list that changes, with the growers we know in person.

The kitchen

Fifty seats, one season at a time

Dishes built on local ingredients and on the wine that goes with them. Lighter at lunch, longer in the evening.

The canyon is not empty. It is time settled into the rock: terraces cut by people who lived here two thousand years ago, plane trees that have made shade for a century, a gorge that runs thirteen kilometres to Modica.

Mosto sits right where it all begins: not in front of the canyon, at its entrance.
