Abbazia Santa Anastasia

Amidst the Madonie mountains, in Castelbuono, Abbazia Santa Anastasia cultivates vineyards and olive groves of monastic origin, translating them into two facets of Sicilian denomination: Sicilia IGP extra virgin olive oil and Sicilia DOC wines. From the olive groves comes an extra virgin oil that meets the strictest acidity parameters, not exceeding 0.5%, and releases aromas of green tomato, one of many possible accents in a territory encompassing 391 municipalities. On the wine front, Nero d'Avola, Frappato, and Nerello Mascalese compose a red repertoire that reinterprets the teachings of medieval monks in a contemporary key, without succumbing to nostalgia. The winery and olive mill thus coexist in a single agricultural endeavor, where the wisdom of the past guides today's choices. Those who ascend to Castelbuono can walk through these vineyards and recognize, in both glass and oil, the dual character of a place that has never ceased to produce.
