Cantine Valenti Srl Ex Vinicola Valenti
Castiglione di Sicilia · Province of Catania · Sicilia
On the Etnean slopes, in the contrade of Passopisciaro near Castiglione di Sicilia, Cantine Valenti cultivates six distinct parcels, each with its own terroir. The volcano's significant diurnal temperature variations and the volcanic soils, rich in organoleptic substances, yield structured and aromatic wines, produced from Nero d'Avola, Nerello Mascalese, and international grape varieties that find a mountain interpretation here. The two Sicilian denominations the winery identifies with — DOC and IGP — encompass whites, reds, and rosés, complemented by an extra virgin olive oil that extends their work from the vineyard to the olive grove. The offering speaks of both technical expertise and respect for the territory, without forcing the hand. Visitors who make their way here will find a well-appointed tasting area: stop to sample the wines from the different contrade and discern, sip after sip, the differences the volcano imparts even to closely situated parcels.
