The winery is located inside an ancient millstone of the Eighteenth century, where you get the sensation of being welcomed by the unmistakeable fragrant aroma of freshly pressed grapes and boiling must. All around, spread over an area of 15 hectares, head-trained bush vines renew a glorious past, but at the same time, look towards a promising future.
A thousand ancient olive trees of the rare variety Carolea, with their silver-green foliage fully exalt the extraordinary chromatic shades of our vineyards. We grow with love Frappato and Nero d’Avola, Grenache and Tannat, combining tradition and innovation, driven by great passion and curiosity.
Our vineyards are cultivated in conversion to organic farming, by hand, with sweat and toil, in a vision of natural farming. We do not irrigate the soil so to ensure that each grape can keep inside itself the warmth of the land and its wonderful sunshine, elements that make our wine and our Sud unique. Read more
