Cantine Simonetti cantine S.r.l.
San Cipirello · Province of Palermo · Sicilia
In San Cipirello, on the slopes of Monte Jato in the province of Palermo, Cantine Simonetti has been operating since 1977 under the name of the family that founded it. Two denominations define its scope: Sicilia DOC for wines and Sicilia IGP for extra virgin olive oil, both linked to a vast area encompassing three hundred and ninety-one municipalities. This regional scale is brought back by the producer to a winery and olive mill operation united under the same roof. On the oenological side, the range is based on the island's grape varieties: Nero d'Avola, Frappato, and Nerello Mascalese for the reds, with rosé and white variations completing the picture. Agronomic choices lean towards sustainable practices, bridging the gap between family heritage and contemporary viticulture. The result is a dual narrative of Sicily — wine and oil — sharing territory and regulatory discipline, bringing together indigenous varieties and a transformation technique explicitly focused on yield.
