This place is a MUST visit! On a whim, on our way to Taormina from Palermo, we decided to make a stop at this winery after the first winery we wanted to visit was closed. There was a private event going on so we didn’t think it would be possible to do a tasting. But after approaching some ground staff, we were directed to and then greeted by a man named Domenico. This led to a series of wonderful surprises. Domenico, whom we found out to be one of the owners of the winery, and Alba, one of the directors, gave us an intimate tour of the facility and the beautiful property. He took his time telling us passionately about the history of the vineyard and introducing us to their methodology. He then hosted us for a private tasting of several of their delicious wines (and just FYI, their wines are made with grapes sourced from their own vineyards in the Mount Etna vicinity), which was paired with a fresh and generous platter of different Sicilian appetizers. We were so blown away by the kindness and hospitality of Domenico and the staff at this winery. We left with a couple bottles of wine and, more importantly, lasting memories. Easily one of the highlights of our trip, especially as it was more than what we bargained for! Grazie mille!!!
