A story which began in the seventies with about twenty hectares of vineyards located in the hills north-east of the small village of Campobello di Licata, in the Agrigento area. A family company, built by passionate winemakers. Giuseppina Milazzo, her husband Saverio Lo Leggio and their son Giuseppe, all grown up in the winery, have been running the winery for more than eleven years.

Today the vineyards extend for 97 hectares, located on a hilly area at about 400 meters above sea level and 20 km from the sea, in an area called Terre della Baronia, which is characterized by a significant variety of soils, to which correspond equally varied microclimatic conditions. Terre della Baronia area comprehends 8 districts (contrade), splitted into several sub-areas, offering a perfect combination between soil and position, microclimate and grape variety.

Milazzo chose to focus its production on autochthonous varieties such as: Nero d'Avola, Perricone and Nerello Cappuccio for the red; Inzolia and Catarratto Lucido for the whites; to which are added some selected international varieties such as Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier and Pinot Noir. Pioneer in the introduction of organic farming, started this path since the mid 1980's. It was the first to experiment Traditional Method Sparkling Wine production in Sicily. The philosophy that guides Azienda Agricola G. Milazzo has always been that of an artisanal viticulture, based on the knowledge of the land, of the vine, of manual workmanship and creativity in interpreting these elements, together with the ability to exploit the best characteristics of climate and soil. A palmares of more than 600 awards in the main international oenological competitions, with a significant amount of gold medals awarded to the whole range of wines produced.

Centopassi is the winemaking entity of the Libera Terra cooperatives, which cultivate land confiscated from the mafia in Sicily.
The vineyards are distributed in the Alto Belice Corleonese, an area where nature dominates, with overwhelming beauty, unmistakable horizons, and unforgettable sunsets.

The wines reflect the diversity of each vineyard, the soils that distinguish them, and the vines that, from time to time, enhance their characteristics.

Alto Belice Corleonese is a territory particularly suited to the production of high-quality wines. Open, uncontaminated scenarios, with limestone peaks that emerge on a plateau with a very high average altitude, make this corner of the Mediterranean a perfect place for optimal vine growth.

Thermal excursions, winds, the composition of the soil, and the symbiosis achieved with the vines we have selected lead to ideal starting conditions, far removed from many stereotypes related to Sicilian wines. Here, elegance is the master, the flavor is omnipresent, and the maximum smoothness of the wines guides every smallest decision, from the painstaking care of the vineyards to processes that always tend to emphasize the freshness and expressiveness of the fruity components.

Crus

Crus come from specific parts of our vineyards, with characteristics made to exalt the qualities of each variety. They are our way of interpreting the territory, the tradition, the vine. They are wines that mature slowly and which, when bottled, all have great qualities of longevity.

Blends

Giato wines are the result of only the most representative native grapes of western Sicily and derive their name from the ancient district that surrounded the wonderful Greek theater on Monte Jato. A place that dominates the valley of the river of the same name, the Belice plateau, and the most important nucleus of the Centopassi vineyards.

Placido Rizzotto wines

Placido Rizzotto wines contain the soul of the Centopassi project. They come from almost all the vineyards available and best describe our approach and our style. We are proud of them because they are a beautiful demonstration of how very high quality can be achieved even with large quantities and, above all, at a particularly accessible price level.

Cottanera is a family owned winery. 65 hectares of vinetards growing Nerello Nascalese and Carricante vines.

Feudo Disisa is located at the heart of north-western Sicily, into Monreale’s territory sited in the province of Palermo, among the Belice and Jato valleys. The vineyard’s comprehensive 400 hectares of soil - whose 150 are cultivated with grapes and 90 with olives – spread over the typical DOC Monreale’s terroir made of slopes and graceful hills with an altitude between 350 and 500 meters above sea level. Only the best grapevine varieties end up to be cultivated, both autochthonous ones like Perricone, Nero d’Avola, Grillo, Catarratto, Inzolia, both international, such as Syrah, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay. Main destined-to-oil olive cultivations are Cerasuola, Nocellara and Biancolilla. The origins of the estate are rooted in the norman period (XII century), when King William II gave this land in gift to Monreale’s Archbishop. Disisa comes from arabian “AZIZ” which means “wonderful”, one term that describes well the marvellous landscapes of “Conca D’Oro”, the valley of Palermo, the sicilian main town. Di Lorenzo family, owner of the estate since two centuries – managed to put together ancient tradition and avant-garde technology, while testing the fittest cultivations for the specifical microclimate conditions of this territory and turning, with passion, dedication and effort, these old pastures and orchards into lush vineyards and olive groves.

Terroir, identité, quête de l’excellence, sicilianité pure.
Telles sont les valeurs fondatrices de Firriato, l’une des plus grandes maisons viticoles de Sicile. Fondée en 1978 à Paceco par Salvatore Di Gaetano et son épouse Vinzia Novara, aujourd’hui rejoints par Irene Di Gaetano, l’entreprise embrasse dans sa production l’ensemble du continent vitivinicole sicilien.

Les domaines de Firriato incarnent en effet la viticulture de colline de l’Agro Trapanese, la viticulture héroïque tournée vers la mer sur l’île de Favignana, ainsi que la viticulture de montagne sur les pentes du plus haut volcan actif d’Europe, l’Etna.

La mission de l’entreprise a toujours été d’explorer le monde vitivinicole kaléidoscopique de l’île, en recherchant les conditions idéales pour exprimer au mieux les cépages autochtones siciliens, tout en cultivant certaines des plus grandes variétés internationales, sur un total de plus de 490 hectares de vignobles conduits selon les rigoureux principes de l’agriculture biologique certifiée.

Gambino, surrounded by the Etna Regional Park, is located in the small town of Linguaglossa, on the northeastern slope of Europe's most active volcano, at about 900 meters above sea level.
   The winery was founded in 1978, over forty years ago, by Vittorio Raciti and Maria Gambino, who are considered pioneers as they were among the first to reintroduce Etnean viticulture—an ancient tradition—on this side of the volcano and at such altitudes (we are among the highest vineyards on Mount Etna).
   We enjoy a unique position, with a breathtaking view—highlighted by the prestigious National Geographic—between Taormina and Mount Etna.
   Our vineyards, facing both northeast and east, are located between Randazzo and Piedimonte Etneo, with our historic headquarters in Linguaglossa, in the Contrada Petto Dragone district.

We grow native grape varieties typical of this area: Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio, Carricante and Catarratto.
   The family has also invested in the construction of an underground winery, designed to have a low environmental impact and to ensure optimal winemaking conditions, where traditional vineyard practices meet cutting-edge, modern equipment.

For many years now, the company has also chosen to invest in central and western Sicily, where we grow other indigenous grape varieties such as Grillo, Moscato di Alessandria, and Nero d’Avola.

Our story is deeply rooted in the history of the land and the value of its people. As innovators also in the field of hospitality—a sector we've dedicated significant resources to since the early 2000s—we believe in the power of an authentic and honest narrative to share our Sicilian Wine Story.

Gambino, encadré par le Parc Régional de l’Etna, se trouve dans la petite commune de Linguaglossa, sur le versant nord-est du volcan le plus actif d’Europe, à environ 900 mètres d’altitude.

La cave a été conçue en 1978, il y a plus de quarante ans, par Vittorio Raciti et Maria Gambino. Ils sont considérés comme des pionniers car ils ont été parmi les premiers à réintroduire la viticulture de l’Etna, dont les origines sont très anciennes, sur ce versant et à ces altitudes (nous sommes parmi les caves avec les vignobles les plus élevés de l’Etna). Nous bénéficions d’un positionnement unique, avec une vue impressionnante, mentionnée par le prestigieux National Geographic, entre Taormina et l’Etna. Nos vignobles sont exposés au nord-est et à l’est, et se trouvent parmi Randazzo et Piedimonte Etneo, mais le cœur reste le site historique de Linguaglossa dans le quartier Petto Dragone. Ici, il y a la culture des raisins indigènes du territoire : Nerello Mascalese et Nerello Cappuccio, Carricante et Catarratto.

La famille a investi dans le projet d’une cave hypogée, à bas impact environnemental et garantissant un environnement parfait par la vinification, où les techniques traditionnelles pratiquées dans le vignoble se mélangent avec des machines modernes et avant-gardistes.

Il y a beaucoup d’années, l’entreprise a également décidé d’investir dans les territoires de la Sicile centrale et occidentale, où sont cultivés d’autres raisins indigènes : Grillo, Moscato di Alessandria et Nero d’Avola.

Notre histoire trouve ses origines dans le terroir et dans la valeur des personnes. Innovateurs également dans le secteur de l’hospitalité auquel nous consacrons d’importantes ressources depuis les années 2000, nous croyons en la force d'un récit authentique et sincère pour partager notre Sicilian Wine Story.

Custodire means preserving the land, maintaining traditions, and respecting the

culture of a place. These values guide the winery and form the foundation of its

vision for winemaking. The vines are cultivated in the traditional 'alberello' system,

exclusively using autochthonous varieties, while the cellar is entirely designed with a

focus on environmental sustainability. The vineyards are located in the areas most

suited for viticulture on Mount Etna, with the goal of conserving them for future

generations in the same way they were passed down by those who previously cared

for them. The winery owns vineyards on different slopes of the "Muntagna," striving

to enhance the unique qualities of the territory.
