Principal grape varieties

Terroir

• Hilly terrain at approximately 400 m above sea level, between the Modione valley to the west and the Belice valley to the east.
• Three distinct soil types: regosols derived from argillaceous rocks, Mediterranean red soils, and vertisols.
• Mediterranean climate with rainfall concentrated in autumn and winter and a dry season throughout the remaining months.
• The hillside aspect promotes air circulation, sunlight exposure, and natural drainage, conditions considered highly suited to viticulture.

• Vine cultivation is documented from the period of Greek colonisation, with continuity through Imperial Rome and the Norman era (Al Idrisi).
• In 2007, an Archaeological, Historical, and Wine Museum was inaugurated in the Castello Grifeo, housing finds ranging from the Neolithic period to the Grifeo era (11th century).

• Pleasant, harmonious aromas with any fruity, floral, and herbaceous notes characteristic of the grape varieties.
• Well-balanced physicochemical parameters contribute to gustatory equilibrium across all wine types.
