Back in 1898 Francesco Nicosia, the great-grandfather of the current owner, decided to open his first wine shop in Trecastagni, on the eastern slope of Mount Etna. This was the golden age of Etna wines, which – even then – were renowned and esteemed across Europe for their minerality and “volcanic” personality.
Current owner and guardian Carmelo Nicosia invested heavily in expanding and restructuring the vineyards in the past 20 years and has helped transform the family business into one of the leading players in the renaissance of Sicilian wine in Italy and around the world. Now certified organic and expanding the range with every year, they are a true voice of Sicily, promoting the regional wines and local varieties, and making some of the leading expressions of these classic, rustic, characterful wines.
