Grotte Wine & Olive Oil Experience

Sicily, four generations compared and a small town on the southern slope of Etna. In Nicolosi, the Serafica family has dedicated itself since 1950, with passion and in full respect of the principles of environmental sustainability, to the cultivation of vineyards and olive groves belonging to Sicilian agro-biodiversity, whose fruits have always been transformed into wine and oil, with unique and incomparable characteristics.
From the southern slope of Etna, the company's 15 hectares of vineyards enjoy an extraordinary balance between savory breezes, sandy and mineral soils, good rainfall and a considerable temperature range which, thanks to the cyclical influence of sea currents, is decisive for the ripening of the fruits and their organoleptic characteristics. The vineyards, from whose fruits the Versante Sud, Grotte and Mirantur wine lines come to life, are located at an altitude varying between 700 metres and 950 metres above sea level and at the extreme edge of Etna viticulture. No less important is the olive grove which, with its 40 hectares distributed in the territories of Nicolosi, Ragalna, Santa Maria Di Licodia at an altitude varying between 300 and 1000 metres above sea level, is told in the four labels where the Nocellara etnea, the queen cultivar of the territory, gives an extra virgin olive oil with a rich and complex flavour.
  The company is now led by Andrea Serafica, with the support of the new generation: Giuseppe Borzì and Nino Serafica and Maria Ausilia Borzì
