Wines
from Sicily
The 950 acres of vineyards are located
on the southern coast of Sicily and are housed
in two holdings: Sambuca di Sicilia (Agrigento)
and Acate (Ragusa).
The vines are cultivated in straight lines, with
approximately 2,200 vines per acre and a
production of approximately 4-5 lbs. of grapes
per vine. The vineyards are cared for on a daily
basis by a group of five expert agronomists and
a team of 100 people in the fields. The
vineyards are also monitored by a computerized
system that precisely manages the cultivation of
the vines and the harvest of grapes. All of
these measures are taken in order to obtain the
highest level of quality Sicily has to offer.
The vineyards of the Arancio Estate are the
foundation of our winemaking philosophy – we
never forget that the high quality brought out
in the winemaking process ultimately comes from
the vines, themselves.
