Vinum, Terra, Identitas

Vinum

The wine

Nero d'Avola, Grillo and Nerello Mascalese in Sicily; Cannonau and Vermentino in Sardinia: grape varieties that carry the salt and sun of the Mediterranean into the glass.

Terra

The territory

Volcanic soils on Etna, limestone around Trapani, granite in Gallura: the islands offer a geology as varied as the wines it produces.

Identitas

The identity

Geographic isolation and millennia of Mediterranean influences have shaped native grape varieties unique in the world, today protagonists of Italian winemaking abroad.

Winery and island vineyards
Wine among the waves

Two islands, two souls, one Mediterranean vocation.

Sicily, with Etna and its UNESCO-listed alberello vine-training tradition, produces wines that unite volcanic minerality with Mediterranean warmth: Nero d'Avola, Grillo, Nerello Mascalese.

Sardinia, a granite island facing two seas, expresses its most authentic soul in Cannonau di Sardegna DOC and Vermentino, amid Mediterranean scrub and sea winds.

Two island territories, united by the same light and the same age-old farming wisdom, told together within the Cantine Eccellenti network.
