Description

Cantine Nicosia

Cantine Nicosia is one of the most representative wineries in the Sicilian territory of Etna. It is one of the most historic wineries, founded in 1898, and which today represents the Region by virtue of a production focused on quality and research.

240 hectares of vineyards in total, conducted partly in an organic regime, extended along the slopes of Etna and Vittoria: since 1898, and for five generations, knowledge and traditions have been handed down from father to son, so today it is Carmelo Nicosia who, together with Francesco and Graziano, holds the reins of the Catania company based in Trecastagni.

In full respect of the environment, mainly native vines are grown, whose grapes are processed in a cellar equipped with the most advanced technologies.
