Azienda Agricola Gandolfo Nino
Salemi · Province of Trapani · Sicilia
On the lands of Salemi, in the Trapanese area, Azienda Agricola Gandolfo Nino works on two fronts that share the same landscape. From Nero d'Avola, Nerello Mascalese, and international grape varieties come the Sicilia DOC wines; from the olive groves comes the Sicilia IGP extra virgin olive oil. Since 2004, Nino Gandolfo has reorganized production around renewable energy sources and manual harvesting at dawn, a choice designed to pick the grapes before heat compromises their integrity. The two denominations tell a consistent story of agriculture tied to the place, where wine and oil are read as parallel expressions of the same Sicilian soil. Work in the cellar and olive mill aims for precision rather than quantity, with an attention to terroir reflected equally in the glass and in the stream of oil. The winery opens its doors to visitors: those arriving in Salemi can stop for a tasting that directly compares the Sicilia DOC wines and the IGP oil, personally verifying the thread that unites vineyard, olive grove, and the producer's hand.
