Description

We decided to dedicate our CRU of Nerello Mascalese to the Musmeci family, and in particular to Mr Ignazio Musmeci, the man who for many years preserved "I Vigne di Fessina" with so much love that he allowed us to work vines over eighty years old. It is the history of this extraordinary land, with its landscapes, its colours, its civilisation that is intertwined with the destiny of the people. And to that of the wine that will be born from it.

From this winery
  • Start up year: 2007
  • Oenologist: Alessandro Benedetto, Jacopo Maniaci
  • Bottles produced: 80.000
  • Hectares: 15
From the beginning, Tentua di Fessina’s desire was to create "a place of beauty, between earth and spirit", rather than a cellar in the strict sense in which people, skills and energies could converge and in turn merge to enrich the intangible heritage of the Estate, made up of professional and human relationships, exchanges and ideas around the culture of wine and good living.

The project took shape in 2007 when the Tuscan producer Silvia and her husband Roberto purchased an old Nerello Mascalese vineyard dating back to the last century. Read more
