Gulfi

The area in which the Gulfi winery is located is one of the most fascinating in the region of Sicily. We are in the extreme south of Italy, at the eastern tip of the island. Here, Vito Catania's family calls itself simply the 'guardian of the terroir'. A mission that has led them, over time, to select the best plots, suitable for viticulture, in the most renowned districts of Chiaramonte Gulfi, in the province of Ragusa, Siracusa and Randazzo, on Mount Etna. To the tradition inherited from his ancestors, since 1996 Vito Catania has added innovation, starting a long work of mass selection and careful production of unique wines. The Catania family has always been sensitive to biodiversity. That is why they have not only selected and improved their great indigenous grape varieties over the years, but have also endeavoured to experiment with some allochthonous varieties, such as Carricante in the Monti Iblei, or even international ones, such as Pinot Noir, of distant French origin. The cultivation of vines according to organic farming principles is only a natural consequence of the winery's production philosophy.
