The Story

Sicily has a larger wine growing area than the entire Germany. A large part of the Mediterranean island is characterized by volcanic soil and warm, dry climate. Among the local grapes grown here are Nero d’Avola and Catarratto. The grapes for Villarini come from selected family owned vineyards in western Sicily, where climate and tradition give perfect conditions to produce interesting wines with depth and character. The wine is made from 100% organically grown grapes, with no use of pesticides or herbicides in order to respect the earth, the terroir, and to contribute to biological diversity.
