Vineyards & Wineries Sicily

Set across 10 hectares of picturesque countryside in southern Sicily, this remarkable estate combines refined living with a luxury restored villa, advanced winemaking infrastructure, and sweeping panoramic views. Of the total land, 7 hectares are cultivated with vines, offering both a luxurious private retreat and a thriving wine business with an estimated production capacity of up to 60,000 bottles per year.

This property represents a unique opportunity to own a fully integrated vineyard estate that unites luxury living, architectural elegance, and high-quality wine production. It is equally suited as a private residence, a boutique winery, or a hospitality venture in one of Italy’s most desirable wine regions.

VINEYARDS AND WINERY

At the heart of the estate lies a fully equipped, state-of-the-art winemaking facility. The wine press house is fitted with 15 modern fermentation tanks and advanced refrigeration systems, alongside a dedicated barrique cellar, laboratory, and storage areas. A beautifully designed tasting room, incorporating historic architectural elements, offers an inviting space to showcase the estate’s wines. Additional structures include a warehouse, machinery barn, garages, and office spaces, ensuring the smooth operation of both agricultural and hospitality activities.

The vineyard itself is planted with a carefully selected mix of grape varieties, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Nero d’Avola, Frappato, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, and Grillo. Managed according to organic, sustainable, and regenerative principles, the estate benefits from one of the most advanced irrigation and fertilization systems in Europe, allowing precise monitoring of soil and climate conditions to maintain optimal vineyard health.

Set at the foot of the majestic Mount Etna, in one of the most evocative landscapes of Sicily, this 11.3-ha country estate captures the authentic soul of the island while potentially offering an elegant and comfortable lifestyle. Surrounded by rolling vineyards and open countryside, the property enjoys a privileged position with sweeping views that stretch across the fertile slopes of the volcano and, in the distance, toward the shimmering waters of the Mediterranean Sea.

The heart of the estate is a beautiful historic country home where traditional Sicilian character meets tasteful contemporary elements. Carefully preserved architectural elements, mostly dating back to the Hispanic domination of Sicily, evoke the charm of the past, while modern comforts ensure a living experience defined by both sophistication and tranquility. The atmosphere is one of timeless elegance, where every space has been thoughtfully designed to enhance the beauty of the surrounding landscape. Some parts of the property require extensive restoration work, particularly in the areas that were once used as cellars: these feature beautiful rustic rooms with very high ceilings and traditional elements (including a perfectly preserved palmento) and could easily be brought back to a usable condition. The large basement space below has been renovated and converted into a beautiful event space, which can also be used as a wine cellar as needed.

Complementing the main residence is a charming bed & breakfast (7 apartments for a total of 18 beds), perfectly integrated into the estate. This welcoming accommodation provides an ideal opportunity to host guests seeking the authentic experience of Etna’s countryside, while at the same time creating a natural source of supplementary income. The atmosphere is intimate and warm, combining rustic authenticity with the comforts expected by modern travelers. On the roof of the building, you’ll find a beautiful panoramic terrace (over 350 m²) with a view of the sea on one side and Mount Etna on the other.

Extending around the residence are approximately 8.1 hectares of prestigious Etna DOC vineyards (Alicante and Syrah), a remarkable feature that places the estate within one of Italy’s most celebrated wine territories. The vineyard not only enhances the visual appeal of the property but also represents a valuable agricultural asset, offering the possibility of producing wines that reflect the distinctive volcanic terroir of the Etna region. The remaining surface of the estate (roughly 4,0 ha) is cultivated with cherries and olive grove (Nocellara dell’Etna and San Benedettese cultivars).

An approved project for the construction of a swimming pool further enriches the estate, promising the creation of a secluded outdoor retreat immersed in greenery. Once completed, this space will ensure the perfect setting for relaxation, where one can enjoy the Sicilian sun while overlooking the surrounding vineyards and countryside.

Thanks to its unique setting, its historic charm and the presence of a productive vineyard together with accommodation facilities, this property represents not only a remarkable private residence but also an outstanding lifestyle investment. Here, at the foot of Mount Etna, one can fully embrace the beauty, culture, and traditions that make Sicily one of the most captivating destinations in the Mediterranean.

This elegant rural casa padronale (country house) is set within the hills of southeastern Sicily. Positioned between 425 and 450 meters above sea level, the estate overlooks terraced fields supported by historic dry-stone walls and lies near the protected Bosco di Santo Pietro Mediterranean reserve.

Carefully restored and expanded, the property combines historic architecture, modern amenities, and high-value agricultural land, creating a perfect balance between tradition and contemporary rural living.
