Az. Vinicola Barone Di Villagrande
On the eastern slopes of Etna, where vineyards climb up to seven hundred meters and gaze towards Salina and the Aeolian coast, this family has worked the same land since 1727: ten generations who have learned to read the volcano harvest after harvest. The volcanic soil and altitude dictate the rhythm, and each harvest deepens their knowledge of the place. Two regional denominations frame their work. Sicilia DOC encompasses the wines—reds from Nero d'Avola and Nerello Mascalese, alongside international grape varieties, with whites and rosés completing the range—while Sicilia IGP identifies a robust extra virgin olive oil, recognizable for its polyphenol richness and notes of green tomato. Wine and oil mature side by side, a testament to a territory that refines both the raw material and those who cultivate it. The winery welcomes visitors: ascend to the high-altitude vineyards to taste, in glass and on spoon, how soil and time transform into flavor.
