From the sea to the hills, up to an altitude of 400 metres, the Menfi territory holds the largest extent of our vineyards. We cultivate more than 48 hectares, and we make careful selections of our vines, both indigenous and international varieties, to the specifics of each terroir.

Farming 489 acres of vines for the last decade has taught us a few lessons. Some years we get lucky and receive brilliant weather that yields stunning varietal qualities, with little interference needed on our part. Other years we learn an important lesson about a site the difficult way.
