About Winery and Wines
The story of Barone Montalto began in Santa Ninfa, in the province of Trapani, in 2000. There is one major feature making us different: the courage in putting in the public eye a strong and wealthy land for introducing its distinctive and authentic wines throughtout the world. Out constant passion has always been a core topic in our project. Montalto wines come from great tradition and young character and are admired by a more and more attentive audience of consumers. Barone Montalto has grown over the years, like our vineyards and the satisfaction of those who keep on choosing our wines with increasing fidelity. Winemaking is a noble and ancient art. To achieve this goal we have set up a team driven by passion for the land and respect for tradition but also open to innovations and ambitious to get always better with enthusiasm and professionalism.
Sicily is a strong and legendary land. Its climate, nature and winemaking experience make it unique for the viticulture. Indeed, it is the most important Italian wine producing region. Barone Montalto manages around 400 hectares of vineyards, some of which owned. The remaining parts are under the “Montalto quality protocol” which controls the quality of the grapes and guarantees a quality growth over the years. The majority of our vineyards, as well as our winery, are located in Santa Ninfa, in the hearth of the Belice Valley. The others are in the province of Agrigento, in the Valle dei Templi and in Noto (south-east of the Island).
