Giuliemi
Giuliemi is a Sicilian winery founded by 5 friends from Catania with the idea of inaugurating a experimental production philosophy based on the principles of quantum physics and the theories of Max Planck, Nobel Prize winner in physics in 1918, according to which the universe is made up of energies and matter, which would manifest themselves in the form of particles called 'quanta'. According to quantum theory, magnetic waves would influence the development of living beings and therefore, according to Michelangelo Catalano, creator of quantum agriculture and winemaking, also of wine.
The bet of the Giuliemi winery is to produce wines on Etna by studying, measuring, and managing electromagnetic fields with the computer system Theos, without using chemical substances in the vineyard or in the winery. For this reason, the vines are cultivated without fertilization, herbicides, or other treatments and, during winemaking, no added additives are used. The correct and beneficial management of magnetic fields would favor the perfect unfolding of natural processes and the production of authentic and high quality without the addition of yeasts, sulfites, or other enological additives. The winemaking and aging of both Etna Bianco and Rosso take place in steel with skin maceration and resting on fine lees.
These innovative ideas, which are winning over an increasing number of enthusiasts and wine lovers, have also attracted interest at the Faculty of Agronomy of the University of Pisa, where the effects of quanta on wine production are being studied. Although the quantum production process has not yet reached a fully scientific status, the tasting of the produced wines seems to vindicate the five partners of the Giuliemi winery: vintage after vintage, they confirm themselves as authentic, rich, and complex enological expressions of the Etna territory.
