Our story begins in 1875 when Vito decides to build a winery at the center of his vineyards in Marsala. Vito had grand plans and focused on quality, packaging and export. Production of still wines begun in the 70s. In the ’90s, we started our collaboration with winemaker Alberto Antonini: wines made only with sicilian grapes varietals which express the unique character and flavours of the Sicilian terroir. Today, after 5 generations Vito’s dream is kept alive by his grandson and great grandchildren.
