CATARRATTO LUCIDO

Our inspiration for the Catarratto Lucido design is the donkey. Donkeys are part of Sicily’s viticultural tradition. As man’s work partner, they used to be a common sight in the vineyards, representing the soul of working in the fields – the source of life and wealth.

CARRICANTE

Sicily is a treasure chest of culture. We take our inspiration for the Carricante design from the wonderful baroque San Giorgio cathedral in the beautiful nearby town of Ragusa, combined with the warm vivid colours of the Sicilian landscape.

FRAPPATO

TERRE SICILIANE

If Frappato is Vittoria’s most typical grape variety, then our Cortese Nostru Frappato is the embodiment of its typicity!

NERELLO MASCALESE

The agave grows widely in Sicily, majestic, resistant, determined plants, they thrive in the extreme conditions of the island and speak of the territory. We took our inspiration for the Nerello Mascalese design from the agave plant as a symbol of the Sicilian landscape.

NERO D'AVOLA

The Rooster, a symbol of pride, courage and honesty, watches over the vineyards. The ancient Greeks believed that the Rooster saluted the sun every morning with his hearty cry, symbolisingvictory over the night, which also serves as an alarm clock to mark the start of the day for animals and vineyard workers alike! At Cortese, early morning is a key time for working in the vineyards to avoid the full strength of the Sicilian sun.
