Description

An authentic expression of centuries of history, Marsala Vergine appears to the attentive eyes of a traveller with its golden yellow colour tending towards amber. The bouquet is complex and intriguing where you can distinguish the ancient scent of wood combined with spicy nuances of vanilla, cinnamon and cloves, but also toasted almonds, dried figs and tobacco. A harmonious, powerful, dry and enveloping alcoholic structure accompanies you in the mouth.

From this winery
  • Oenologist: Giuseppe Clementi
  • Hectares: 120
Sicily, an island with a long-standing wine growing tradition, is home to the Tenute Orestiadi’s vineyards, founded in Gibellina by a group of wine growers in a cooperative and the Orestiadi Foundation, one of the most important cultural institutions in the Mediterranean region, to promote the identity of Sicilian indigenous grapes through the union of art and wine.

Tenute Orestiadi is an ancient name that evokes distant myths and legends, that in fact amidst these lands found life thanks to Aeschylus, that more than 20 centuries ago wrote and brought to the stage the legend of ORESTES and of the ORESTIADI.

Tenute Orestiadi was awarded 3 gold medals at the International Mundus Wine Competition Spring Tasting 2021. Here are the medal-winning wines:

- 2018 Tenute Orestiadi II Bianco di Ludovico Riserva - Gold Medal

- 2020 Molino a Vento Nero d´Avola DOC Sicilia - Gold Medal

- 2020 Tenute Orestiadi Grillo DOC Sicilia - Gold Medal and Best of Show Sicilia white

It is with great pleasure that all the wines we submitted this year, 2024, to The Wine Hunter competition received awards.

Specifically:

- PaxMentis Syrah 2022 Gold Medal (awarded to wines scoring between 93 and 95.99)

- The Bianco di Ludovico 2021 Red Medal (awarded to wines scoring between 90 and 92.99)

-The Rosso di Ludovico 2020 Red Medal (awarded to wines with a score between 90 and 92.99)

Tenute Orestiadi has an ancient name that evokes distant myths and legends, which came to life in Sicily thanks to Eschi- lo, who wrote and staged the myth of ORESTE and the ORESTIADES twenty or more centuries ago.
