This estate is the Mazzei family’s most recent investment and is located in south-eastern Sicily, the home of Nero d’Avola, about 1 km outside the magnificent town of Noto which is celebrated for its Baroque architecture. There are two “baglio” buildings on the site which form the centre of around 50 hectares of bush-trained vines interspersed with olives, citrus trees and almonds.
The small but efficient cellar, carefully set into the main “baglio” building on the estate, is equipped with temperature controlled stainless steel vats with a total capacity of 1,000 hectolitres, for fermentation, and 200 barriques of French oak, for ageing.
