Detailed programme

Take part in a unique experience within a fairy-tale setting that will satiate your belly and heart.
The tasting will take place only after a guided tour of the winery's historic buildings: the baglio federiciano, the baglio dei ricordi, the historic garden and the ancient 18th-century palmento.

Afterwards, you can take a seat in the cellar for a tasting of three wines paired with simple traditional country dishes: local cured meats and cheeses, tumminia bread with olive oil, "impanate" and "vota vota" of vegetables and ricotta cheese, olives, and salad.
Building on a long family tradition, the historic winery has recovered the lost taste of Moscato di Siracusa and renewed the more established taste of Nero d'Avola.

The winery s vineyards grow luxuriantly in heterogeneous soils in which the limestone component, which gives delicacy to the Moscato grapes, alternates with the volcanic component, which instead reinforces the full-bodied character of the reds and Nero d'Avola.
In this oasis of green, which creeps into the fertile Syracuse plain of Epipoli and breathes the brackish air of the nearby Mediterranean coast, are born the prestigious labels that you will try in the tasting. You will be part of a century-long family tradition.
