Azienda Agricola Augustali

Located in the fertile lands between Trapani and Palermo, nestled in the heart of Sicily's picturesque Gulf of Castellammare, the Farm AUGUSTALI offers a unique experience rooted in the rich history and natural beauty of the region. The farm is set in the fertile part of the Falconeria forest, a landscape once cherished by Frederick II of Swabia. Owned by oenologist Vincenzo and his wife Finella, an educational farmer and beekeeper, AUGUSTALI invites visitors to immerse themselves in the vibrant smells, colors, and tastes of nature. Guests can stroll through wide green fields of olive groves, vineyards, and citrus orchards before arriving at the farm's newly completed wine cellar, where modern technology and tradition meet. This intimate, well-equipped cellar allows for the immediate and gentle crushing of grapes, ensuring the highest quality wine production.

At AUGUSTALI, winemaking is a craft that harmonizes tradition with innovation. The new wine-house, completed in 2017, is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities including computerized cooling systems, a pneumatic wine press, a modern bottling line, and an oak cellar for aging. The proximity of the cellar to the vineyards ensures that the grapes are processed at peak freshness, contributing to wines of exceptional character and quality. The farm’s vineyards, which gently slope down towards the sea, benefit from the fertile soils of the Falconeria forest and the mild Mediterranean climate. Here, traditional Sicilian varieties are cultivated, producing wines that express the unique terroir of the region. Visitors have the opportunity to not only taste these wines but also learn about the winemaking process, from vine to bottle, in an authentic Sicilian setting.
