  • 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)
