FAMILY HERITAGE
Raised with the wine flows through the veins we have continued the family business with passion and love which are the main features of our job
Since we were children wine has flowed through our veins. Our father came from Marsala, the homeland of Sicilian winemaking, our grandfathers were originally from the land of Cerasuolo instead. Our childhood is spent between home and winery chasing quick harvests or waiting for the must that became wine.

Our farming is organic and sustainable. We love and keep the tradition and our history. We’ve learned from our ancestors. All of that has inspired our job.
Vigna di Pettineo is one of the most ancient and prestigious production areas of Cerasuolo di Vittoria D.O.C.G. so it’s recognized as a classic area. Massimo Maggio the owner wanted to begin his project using his family heritage and his passion as a winemaker. He wants to make a wine that can show the land of Hyblean hills.
TERRITORY AND HISTORY
