Wine, oranges, holidays, and more – the array of services at our winery in southeastern Sicily We planted our first vines in the chalky soil of Avola, Sicily, in 2006. Now we farm more than 23 hectares of land at the foot of the Monti Iblei to produce organic grapes. In the process, we have avoided traditional monoculture by allowing olive, citrus, and almond trees to grow between the lines of vines. Added to which, we firmly practice Sicilian hospitality on the estate – with tastings and events or with our accommodation for up to 25 wine-loving tourists.
