The best wineries in Trecastagni.
The Biondi Winery was founded in the late nineteenth century and reached its maximum size in the period between the two world wars. Thanks to the management commitment of Salvatore Biondi (great–uncle of the present owner) and the wine experience of his brother Cirino, the company succeeded in producing excellent wine.
In this period, another wine producer, Lanzafame, comes into the company and creates the BIONDI & LANZAFAME brand. During the first decades of the twentieth century, the company, with this new designation, participated in several exhibitions and fairs and the wines presented won several awards and medals: Casalmonferato 1913, Paris 1914, Lyon 1914, Cuneo 1914, Milan 1914, the registration in the "GRANDE LIBRO D’ORO". The BIONDI & LANZAFAME wine was exported to Europe and USA.
After the end of World War II, for the company begins a period of decline, due to the failure to adapt to modern technology to the new market arisen after the war.
Azienda Agricola Contino was founded by the experience and expertise of the Contino family, who for years, in the name of respect for the biological pace of the land, produces DOC wines that are estimated throughout Italy. The company’s vineyard stretches on the south–east side of Etna, on the slopes of Monte Gorna; thanks to the soil composition, characterized by volcanic sands, Etna Rosso DOC is obtained, a particularly fine wine that retains all the flavour of the land it comes from.
The use of modern technologies and the continuous search for modernity, combined with the respect of a healthy craftsmanship, are the guiding principles of the Contino family, who over the years has managed to become well–renowed for its wines, getting favorable feedback both by experts and by amateurs.
Thanks to a great passion handed down from father to son for five generations, Cantine Nicosia has now become a reality in the foreground of Sicilian winemaking. A dynamic, modern and efficient company, able to look to the future with full respect for tradition, with the leadership of Carmelo Nicosia, flanked by his two sons Francesco and Graziano, a close team of young employees and, last not least, the oenologist Maria Carella, authentic interpreter of the production philosophy.
To promote the most suited viticultural areas in Sicily in an environmentally responsible way, to prioritize the most valuable native vines and grape varieties which have adapted in the best way to the Sicilian territory, to enhance the raw material with a careful selection of grapes and constant care in the work in the winery. These are the elements at the base of the long and exciting path undertaken by Cantine Nicosia towards quality so as to produce wines worthy of representing the best Sicilian wine culture.
A path that Francesco and Graziano Nicosia are ready to carry on in the wake of innovation marked by their father, to continue to honor the family tradition and shout to the world that "the Sicilian wine is a wonderful thing!".
