Az. Agr. Terre di Shemir

On the western edge of Sicily, where the gaze stretches towards the Egadi Islands, Terre di Shemir divides its work between olive groves and vineyards in the Trapani area. The two denominations it oversees tell the story of distinct products from the same soil: the extra virgin Sicilia IGP, pressed from freshly harvested olives, and the red and rosé Sicilia DOC wines crafted from Nero d'Avola and Frappato. The oil is measured against precise parameters—acidity within 0.5%, polyphenols over 100 mg/kg—and brings to the nose that green tomato note characteristic of olives processed without delay. The wines, on the other hand, translate the harvest into warmer profiles, entrusted to indigenous grape varieties and a family management that champions sustainability as a daily practice rather than just a declaration. Together, the olive mill and winery create a company that interprets the territory on two parallel registers, without overlapping them, deriving two different grammars of the same landscape.
