We walked in a half hour before closing, and were informed by a gracious short-haired woman who…read morespoke excellent English that tastings are typically arranged in advance and were done for the day. However, after a few general questions about buying a bottle of marsala, we wound up partaking in a delicious tasting of multiple local wines. We enjoyed two unique whites including an aromatic dry moscato, multiple reds including a bold Syrah and an organic blend, marsalas - including a sweet, semisweet, dry, red, and one aged since 1985 - and finally a delicious local Amaro even though we were already committed to buying it. This unexpected service, besides the amazing quality product, made us all the happier with our purchase(s). Unfortunately we did not catch her name, but this woman's hospitality and knowledge made for an incredible and memorable first wine tasting in Sicily. Cannot recommend this place highly enough.

You need a reservation for tasting, which is unlike USA, but make sure you do as you do not want to…read moremiss this fantastic winery. The long road to get there is marked fairly often but be persistent and you'll find the destination. With tbe expansive property they make a number of wines each with a different focus. The winery is full service and unlike others they take care of all packing and shipping so We shipped two cases home. Since the weather was sunny and warm i tended towards whites and grabbed a pair for our local stay. Staff waived our 15 Euro tasting fee and we were stoked. Thank you

The tour was informative and fun and the wine we tasted was all great. Located in a remote but…read morebeautiful location, it was interesting to learn just how much wine and how many varieties they produce. They also make olive oil, which was used in the variety of antipasti they shared during the tasting. As part of the tour, we were able to purchase a case of a variety of their wines, and olive oil, and they are shipping it home to us at no additional charge. It was a lovely way to spend the afternoon.

Wonderful winery and lunch. Young winery started in 'o5. They have several in Sicily. Absolutely…read morefive star service and excellent wines. Very nice set up, beautiful tables of appertif set up outside ; lunch and wine tasting were inside. The food was delicious, as were the wines. We sampled various olive oils on bruschetta which was absolutely divine. I bought a sample of the oils. This was our wine brand of choice throughout our visit in Sicily. Our favorite was the Syrah.

The size, selection and the staff's dedication to information sharing, when desired, as well as astutely judging the match between wine and the level of sophistication of the customer's palate, sets this as a must visit for those who want to increase their knowledge of wine in general and Sicilian wines in particular. We walked from our hotel near Piazza Verdi in 15 minutes and walked into the entryway that seems like any other small wine bar. After we explained what we wanted, we were shown to a very large 45' (15m.) long L shaped tasting area with 15-18 small elevated tables with two stools and two side tables at each place. The outside of the room is lined with fully stocked, floor to ceiling wine racks divided first by region and then by varietal. We asked for a primer on whites and started with 2 glasses of a carricante, an ancient Sicilian strain grown on Etna. We had sampled a cataratto earlier which seems to be the major white wing grape of the region and this had much more acid but pleasing citrus that compared most closely to a Sauvignon Blanc in our experience. We then tried an entry level nero d'avola, the major Sicilan red, that compared to Syrah and another red that was very harsh by comparison and so, unfortunately, forgettable. Service was knowledgeable, attentive, provided in English and Italian and the original 4 oz. (120 ml.) pours were toned down to 2 oz. (60 ml.) at our request so we could walk back. The total for 2 larger pours and 2 smaller ones was 12E. For an impromptu beginning tasting this was just what we wanted and we will go back for a second flight.
