45 hectares
We acquired the land piece by piece, recovering and cultivating 45 hectares which today produce the D.O.C. Santa Cecilia, Moscato di Noto and Passito di Noto.
Territories & Wineries
The aspect of the soft hills of Buonivini, the white limestone soil, the breezes arising from the meeting of two seas, create the best conditions to make the vines grow successfully and give rise to great wines. Here Nero d’Avola and Moscato grow together with almonds, carobs and olives, symbolic plants of the Mediterranean location.

Training system: espalier, spurred cordon
Planting density: 4,500 vines per hectare
First for the traditional Passito, then for the dry version which enhances the aromatic characteristics just as much, we cultivate another great indigenous variety next to Nero d’Avola, Moscato di Noto, giving a contemporary interpretation to its very ancient tradition in this area.
Training system: espalier, spurred cordon
Planting density: 5,000 vines per hectare
To cultivate the prince of the great Sicilian red wines, Nero d’Avola, in its country of origin was the main reason for coming to Noto. The white limey soils, the aspect and sun of Buonivini create the ideal conditions for growing these vines and producing great wines.

Years of experience have helped us to identify among the vines at Ulmo, on the banks of Lake Arancio, the ideal place for the cultivation of this old French variety. Today the site of the Ulmo Merlot, producing a single-variety wine, is one of our single-variety vineyards.

Arising from the desire to minimise environmental impact, the invisible winery is the symbol of our presence in the territory of Noto. The project, finalised in 2003, is still completely innovative and the expression of a perfect synthesis between respect for the territory, technical requirements and architectural design.
