Cantina Morreale Azienda Agricola Srl
Favara · Province of Agrigento · Sicilia
In Favara, behind Agrigento, Cantina Morreale operates within the broad perimeter of DOC Sicilia—391 municipalities—alongside the corresponding Sicilia IGP indication. These two denominations encompass work carried out purely on Nero d'Avola, Frappato, and Nerello Mascalese, each variety vinified separately to allow its distinct character to emerge without blending. The roots trace back to the agronomist Baron Antonio Mendola, who in the late 19th century studied vines in the Piana dei Peri, the very lands where the winery's vineyards grow today. That scientific approach survives in the meticulous control of fermentation temperatures, which protects the aromatic intensity and varietal definition of each wine. Those wishing to experience this can book a visit to the winery and taste, side by side, the three faces of Sicilian red.
