Salina is very north west of Lipari and is the second largest island in the archipelago of the Aeolian islands (Lipari after) and also the second most populated (there are about 2200 inhabitants). The island of Salina is composed of three municipalities: Santa Marina located on the east coast, Leni and Malfa hill located on a hill in the north coast, unlike the other islands of the Aeolian islands that form the town of Lipari. The origin of the name of Salina derives from the presence of numerous salt pans that were once located in the southeastern part of the island. Salt is of volcanic origin, like all other Lipari Islands, and is characterized by two volcanic cones: Monte Fossa delle Ferns (962 meters high and the highest peak of all the islands of Lipari) and upstream of Leek (859 meters) that are united one pass.
Capofaro Malvasia di Salina has born from the love of Tasca d’Almerita family for sea
and vines. Shadow withering allow a correct sugar concentration and keep the aromatic
component of the grapes as well as their freshness. Malvasia Capofaro is an elegant wine,
never mawkish, perfect expression of the sea and the soil it takes its origins from.
