Picciriddi supra sceccu: Echoes of Tradition and Nature
An artistic journey from grapes to wine
The work “Picciriddi supra sceccu” by Salvatore Incorpora vividly captures a fresco of rural Sicilian life, where the donkey, a traditional working tool, carries grapes and children to the palmento. The animal, at the center of the composition, symbolizes fatigue and resilience, while a weary harvester, holding on to the donkey’s tail, represents humanity closely tied to the land and its seasons. This work evokes the slow and arduous journey of the grape harvest, reflecting on a path of transforming grapes into wine that continues to stand the test of time, just like ancient Sicilian traditions. Each sip of Grillo ‘Sensi’ thus becomes a tribute to this deeply rooted history, evoking with each drop the October must and the indelible memories of an island rich in culture and passion.
