Principi di Butera

New style Sicilian winemaking

In the heart of Sicily, where the golden light weaves a tapestry-like mosaic under a clear sky, lies a beautiful oasis that is the cradle of great autochthonous Sicilian grapes and the ‘chosen land’ of Nero d’Avola. The estate is located in one of the Island’s most mineral-rich areas, close to the Mediterranean coast and be­tween the Valle dei Templi and Piazza Armerina (Province of Agrigento). The varietals and the organic prop­erties of the land, combined with a distinctive microclimate that benefits from sea breezes, make these ancient lands, which once belonged to the Princes of Butera, an ideal site for sustainable viticulture and a reserve with unique biodiversity. This area, with its colourful citrus fruits and scents of the Mediterranean scrub, yields elegant, finely-fragranced wines with great intensity and freshness. Today, Feudo Principi di Butera is the symbol of a new style of Sicilian winemaking whose aim is to rediscover and revive a precious agronomic treasure trove, thereby contributing to the enhancement and promotion of the territory.
