a Winery
that tells
the story
of a Family
A tradition in wine production that meets the enthusiasm and the desire to tell the new generations that are children of their own territory. It is the story of Vincenzo Marino Abate, and his brothers Nicola and Rossella, a young man in his thirties who is passionate about his land. Vincenzo decided to devote himself to his vineyards with the same care passed on him by his father Angelo and granfather ‘Nzino. Plant by plant, vine by vine Enzo knows every single clod of land on his estate which extendes over 16 hectares of vineyards and olive groves. Loyalty to these lands, located between Marsala and Mazara del Vallo, inevitably led him towards a very specific choice: to cultivate and produce in an organic regime, enhancing the natural predisposition of the soils for the respective vineyards that adapt to them.
———— Our Territory
Diversity is an added value and means different climates and soil, from clayey to calcareous, from sandy and pebbly with different shades that characterize them.
———— Our Mission
Producing wine means first of all respecting the environment and therefore organic production was an almost obligatory choice. For this reason, each terroir must be faithfully represented by its own “son” wine. The goal is to make a new Sicily known through its products.
