Orestiadi

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:
