In the 1970’s the company was the first to market a range of wines produced from native grape varietals and has  continued to seek the individualism  and character of the true wines of Sicily and Italy.  This strategy is now paying dividends, as people tire of the classic varietals, they are coming to respect traditional wines from Sicily. 

What customers are also finding, to their benefit, is that Sicilian wines offer fantastic value for money.
The winery benefits from IS0 9002 and is BRC accredited.
