This is the world of Gorghi Tondi estate, an unspoiled area where you can admire an extreme, beautiful, and evocative Sicily, without forgetting its fruits. Halfway between the sea and the integral nature reserve, the winery is located in a traditional “baglio” (a typical Sicilian farmstead), in complete harmony with the vineyards and the surrounding natural context, a few steps away from the nests of the hawks, the turtles, the wild orchids and the colors of the Mediterranean maquis.
