Organic farming in the heart of western Sicily

Between Partanna and Salaparuta, in the heart of the Belice Valley, we cultivate more than 140 hectares of land dedicated to olive growing, viticulture and the traditional crops of our territory.

This is where our organic Nocellara del Belice extra virgin olive oil and our DOC Sicilia wines are produced, expressions of a Mediterranean land that we cultivate every day with care and respect.

Tempio Parco archeologico Selinunte

A land of history, sea and hills.

Our land lies in a hilly area of western Sicily, characterised by bright sunny days, good ventilation and cooler nights. These conditions favour the balanced ripening of olives and grapes and help shape the distinctive character of our products.

Just a few kilometres away lies Selinunte, one of the most important ancient Greek cities in the Mediterranean. A place that reveals how deep and ancient the connection is between this land, agriculture and the civilisations that have inhabited it.

Olive groves and vineyards have been part of this landscape for centuries and continue to tell its story today.

Farming with respect for the land.

We have chosen organic farming both as a production method and as a way of defining our relationship with the land.

We use crop rotation, natural fertilisers, biological control techniques and soil management practices aimed at preserving fertility and maintaining the balance of the agricultural ecosystem.

For us, organic farming means first and foremost understanding our soils, respecting their natural rhythms and preserving their resources for future generations.

Our vineyards.

In our vineyards, we grow some of Sicily’s most representative grape varieties, including Grillo, Zibibbo and Nero d’Avola, alongside international varieties such as Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.

The Mediterranean climate, the ventilation of the hills and the temperature variations between day and night accompany the ripening of the grapes and contribute to giving our wines freshness, aromatic intensity and character.

From these grapes we produce wines designed to express the identity of our land with an authentic and distinctive style.

Nocellara del Belice.

Alongside the vine, the olive tree is one of the crops most deeply rooted in our history.

In our olive groves, we cultivate Nocellara del Belice, one of the most representative olive varieties of western Sicily and the Belice Valley.

From our olives we produce an organic extra virgin olive oil with a distinctive yet harmonious character. After extraction and filtration, the oil is stored in temperature-controlled tanks under inert gas to protect it from oxidation and preserve its quality over time.

From our land to your table

Extra virgin olive oil and wine are two different expressions of the same land.

Products born from our fields and from our daily work on the farm, created to bring the aromas and flavours of western Sicily to your table.
