Feudi del Pisciotto has the new vineyards (33 hectares planted since 2002) situated at about 250 meters of altitude and 6 km from the sea as the crow flies. It benefits therefore of two climatic moderators: the altitude, where arrive the sea breezes, and the sea itself, a great compensator of the temperature. Being part of the Pisciotto reserve, famous for its beauty, the abundance of cork-oaks and for many other species of vegetation, Feudi del Pisciotto is also an intact building since ages, as from the extraordinary millstone that is the wine cellar with the production method used by the old Romans. A combination of history and high technology (in the new wine cellar) with the target of reaching the highest levels of the Sicilian high quality production. The old feud is destined to become a five star resort.
With the old vineyards, which will progressively be replaced, Feudi del Pisciotto already sells the basic line using the mark Baglio del Sole: Nero d'Avola, Inzolia and Inzolia Catarratto.
A combination of two noble white grapes, Inzolia e Catarratto, whose enormous potential is only now being discovered (Cataratto in the past was used to produce Marsala). Now blended in similar quantities, which may vary from vintage to vintage, they create a quite unique wine with an interesting personality.
