Feudi del Pisciotto is a Sicilian winery that is part of the Castellare di Castellina group owned by Paolo Panerai. It is the ancient feud with 44 hectares of vineyards and a production of about 400,000 bottles in the heart of the DOCG Cerasuolo di Vittoria.
Sicily is the region that the ancients called Enotria by virtue of its celebrated vocation for the cultivation of vines. It is no coincidence that the climate and soils of this island are a guarantee of quality as well as quantity. This is why in recent years, thanks first and foremost to the pioneering work of some great Sicilian entrepreneurial families, to the precious collaborations of a genius such as Giacomo Tachis, and to the commitment of institutions such as the Regional Institute of Vine and Wine, wine-growing on the island has undergone a veritable renaissance, cultural even more than productive, made up of major investments in the capacity of this land to produce wines of international standing. In this new Sicilian renaissance movement, Feudi del Pisciotto, the first Sicilian winery of the DCC group, is making its contribution, drawing also on the experience gained by Castellare di Castellina and Rocca di Frassinello.
