The Cir wines of the San Francesco farm present themselves today as modern wines, but to remember the wine tradition of his family, Francesco Siciliani, adopted as a logo the family noble coat of arms, consisting of a rampant lion placed on a mountain with three peaks on a blue background. After having taken the first steps in the cellar of the family, gaining a good experience in the field, Francesco Siciliani has developed its own high–tech winery.
The structure covers 2,000 square meters, of which six hundred underground that constitute the barrel cellar, has a production capacity of over one million bottles a year, and with steel silos and machinery that enable cutting–edge methods of vinification. The choice of quality control that accompanies the grapes throughout their growing cycle until bottling, has been the trump card of the San Francesco farm to give prestige to the vocation of its territory, for too long obscured by productions more attentive to quantity that to quality.
The enhancement of the grape varieties that have made the production of Cir famous since antiquity, therefore, characterizes the company’s philosophy.
From Gaglioppo, a vine grown in the hills, with the typical sapling form, they produce a classic red and a rosé Cir, obtained by detaching, immediately after crushing, the juice from the pulp and the skins of the grapes.
Only from Greco grapes, white Cir is made. "Ronco dei Quattroventi" and "Donna Madda" are the happy expression of the potential of Gaglioppo enhanced in barrique.
