WHO WE ARE.
Farm and winery
A modern, BIO-certified winery where the most innovative technologies are used, following policies of respect for the environment and care for the land.
Contemporary architecture
The winery is the result of a slow and painstaking renovation of an ancient baglio dating back to the 18th century, respecting the original criteria in a structure with its own needs for functionality and efficiency.
Lands of Sicily
About 130 hectares with a particular vocation for the native Nero d'Avola and Grillo grape varieties, but also optimal for the well-known Syrah.
Discovering nature
The vineyards are located in the heart of western Sicily, between Mazara del Vallo and Trapani, at an altitude between 100 and 600 meters above sea level with a mild, breezy climate.
