Cant. Soc. Dell'Alto Belice

Cant. Soc. Dell'Alto Belice operates within the DOC Sicilia, a denomination with vast boundaries covering 391 municipalities across the entire island. The cooperative's red wines intertwine indigenous varieties Nero d'Avola and Frappato with international varieties—Syrah, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon—bringing each label to at least 12% alcohol, in a profile that seeks body and ripe fruit. The second denomination extends production beyond wine: the Olio Extravergine di Oliva Sicilia IGP showcases the island's typical green tomato aroma, supported by a polyphenol content exceeding 100 mg/kg, a threshold that certifies its robustness and bitterness. These two certifications tell the story of a cooperative that does not separate the vineyard from the olive grove but treats them as two facets of the same Sicilian agricultural landscape. It is a collective enterprise that anchors quality to the broadest possible scale of island viticulture, where the size of the territory does not dilute identity but distributes it across red wine and olive oil with criteria that are nonetheless measurable in the bottle and at the oil mill.
