Our winery
Our wines are backed by the newspaper: the pursuit of quality is the goal that guides every step and passion for the natural is what drives us. Based on the conviction that only healthy and natural agriculture that respects the environment and does not upset the productivity of plants will allow the best expression of the terroir and its particularities, we decided to produce organic wines who identify fully with our ideas.
The vineyards are cultivated following the teachings handed down by his grandfather Joseph, respecting the lunar phases and the old conservative techniques for pruning and following the delicate natural balance of the biological cycles of our plants.
We do not use chemical fertilizers or soil, sow the field bean which allows you to naturally enrich the soil organic matter by his turning a product inside..
In the period of September, before the harvest, we select carefully the best land and once chosen, we begin the harvest, strictly hand with small baskets, making reaching the berries intact in nearby winery, thus preserving all its peculiar properties.
In the cellar using the modern techniques of temperature control we monitor the progress of fermentation, thus accompanying our wines, from the vine to the casks, which will accrue for years.
These are our wines, a blend of innovation, culture and Sicilian tradition.
