. Holyart Sacramental Wine, produced by a Sicilian winery in Marsala in a 1-liter bottle. Sacramental Wine for the Holy Mass known for its ancient golden yellow color with amber reflections and a sweet, soft, and full-bodied taste, ensuring high quality and absolute genuineness. Produced, bottled, and sealed according to the Canonic Right, Chapter 1, Article 3, Canon 924, which establishes: ''Vinum debet esse naturale ex genimine vitis et non corruptum'', meaning that the wine must be natural, obtained from the fruit of the vine and unaltered. For this reason, Mass wine must meet specific requirements:
: it must contain only grapes, without additives that would compromise its validity in the Sacrament. -
: it must come solely from the clusters produced by the vine, without the addition of other substances. -
: it must be in perfect condition, free from defects like cork taint, vinegar taste, or mold. To ensure this authenticity, the wine destined for the Eucharistic celebration undergoes
periodic examinations on selected samples by the Liturgical Office Director of the Diocese of Mazara del Vallo, certifying its genuineness and suitability for sacramental use, ensuring compliance with all canon law provisions.
Certificate of commercialization of wine for the Holy Mass, issued by the Diocese of Mazara del Vallo only to companies meeting the required criteria. This certificate is valid annually, and renewal is subject to new verifications by the Diocese.
Customs Agency authorization for alcoholic beverages stamps: Cenaculum Wine features the typical State band stamp, issued by the State Institute of Printing and Minting of Italy.
Cenaculum Wine is produced with selected Sicilian grapes, chosen to ensure a high alcohol content that guarantees stability over time, even after opening the bottle. This characteristic allows better resistance to long journeys and climatic variations. Its high alcohol content, combined with rich flavors, recalls the type of wine produced in Christ's time, notably fuller.

Cenaculum Wine can only reach the altar after a rigorous and meticulously controlled production process, from winemaking to bottling. The oenologist carefully monitors each processing phase, ensuring the high quality of the product. The Liturgical Office of the Diocese of Mazara del Vallo oversees the final check: at the end of the production cycle, the large wine vats are sealed by the Curia. Every bottling batch is opened in the presence of the Liturgical Office Director, who is the only authorized person to break the seal, supervise the wine decantation, bottle filling, and final sealing. This Cenaculum Wine scrupulously adheres to all the prescriptions of Canon Law, in full coherence with the Church's provisions.
During the Last Supper, Jesus institutes the Eucharist sacrament and, taking the chalice, says: ''Drink from it, all of you, for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins'' (Mt 26:27-28). This same gesture of Jesus is repeated by the priest on the altar during Mass, and once consecrated, the wine becomes the Blood of Christ, the blood shed on the cross for the salvation of humanity. In the Eucharist rite, even in small quantities, natural wine is a symbol, sign, and essence, and cannot be replaced by other spirits or related products.
