Guccione Azienda Agricola - Vini naturali

Our family tradition in winemaking goes all the way back to my great grand father. Today I cultivate the same land that has been passed down through generations. Even if Cerasa is on the same territory as the DOC Monreale I have chosen to not be a part of it. Instead I am associated with La Renaissance Des Appellations which goal is to bring back the true morals of the appellations by bringing tog

ether biodynamic producers from all over the world. My wines are considered as a guideline of the expression of the local terroir even if they are not classified as DOC or IGT. I am located between San Cipirello and Piana Degli Albanesi in the district of Monreale about 500m above sea level. All products are certified organic even if I have been actively practicing biodynamics since 2005. Trebbiano (grown around Cerasa from as early on as the 1400)
Cataratto (extralucido variety which is very delicate and hence rare variety)
Perricone ( species often unknown as it is has generally only been used for blending purposes)
Nerello Mascalese (primarily grown around Etna, excellent when put together with the Perricone)
On the remaining 4Ha I grow ancient varieties of Sicilian grain, vegetables and a small pasture. I follow all the principles of biodynamic agriculture and way of living, there for I do not use any external agents other than the grapes when making my wine except a tiny amount of sulphites added when bottling. It is of great importance to me that the final product reflects the terroir in a genuine and sincere way as well as respecting my work and the consumer.
