Winery in Valley of the Temples

About the Winery

L’Azienda Agricola Vella, fondata nel 1970 a Sant’Angelo Muxaro (Agrigento), nasce dalla passione per la viticoltura di nonno Paolo. Immersa in un territorio fertile, protetta dalla collina di Monte Castello e dal fiume Platani, l’azienda ha impiantato le sue prime vigne nell’areale di C/da Pantano. Oggi vanta oltre 14 ettari di vigneti coltivati in regime biologico, sono presenti varietà autoctone come Nero d’Avola, Perricone, Grillo e Catarratto Lucido, oltre a varietà internazionali come Syrah e Chardonnay. La nuova generazione Vella, dal 2015, unisce tradizione e innovazione, portando avanti la filosofia di un’agricoltura sostenibile. I vini prodotti sono caratterizzati da grande sapidità e notevole struttura espressione dell’eccellenza del territorio, apprezzati per la loro qualità e autenticità.

About the Wines

L’azienda agricola Vella offre la possibilità di scoprire il suo mondo attraverso visite guidate, degustazioni professionali e abbinamenti di gusto della cultura contadina agrigentina. I visitatori vengono accompagnati in un viaggio sensoriale alla scoperta dei vini biologici di loro produzione e della storia dell’azienda. Un racconto che si tramanda di generazione in generazione, fondato sull’amore per la terra, il rispetto per la natura e la passione per l’eccellenza. L’esperienza può essere vissuta e condivisa attraverso eventi, degustazioni e attività pensate per trascorrere momenti indimenticabili in buona compagnia. Gli ospiti possono scegliere l’attività preferita per immergersi nel mondo Vella e assaporare il gusto genuino del vino. Dalla vigna al calice.

Young winemaker changing the world
Paolo, the host of the tour, young winemaker of sicily, is very kind and passionate. He clearly knows what he wants to make, and he's making it happen. They kindly explain the wines even during the tasting, and give us plenty of time to enjoy.

Thank you so much! I am delighted that you appreciated our philosophy and our wines. For us, hospitality and time are just as fundamental ingredients as the grapes themselves. We look forward to welcoming you back to Agrigento!

A young passionate winemaker
This winery was unexpected modern in its design and production methods but the wines were old world fantastic - exactly what you would expect from such a passionate young winemaker - he is in love with the land and his people and wants to encourage the young of Sicily to stay and find their future in Sicily / his wines are exquisite- we looked into shipping but the shipping costs prohibitive so we took what we could carry -

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for capturing the essence of project. Knowing that you appreciated not only our wines, but also our commitment to Sicily and its young people, fills me with pride. It was a true pleasure to have you at 'A Casa Nostra'. Thank you for taking a little piece of our land back with you!

Cancelled last minute
As I was leaving, even though we had booked and it was approved, I messaged the vineyard on WhatsApp and they cancelled on me.
It left us without any plans for the day.
Although they proposed another time, it was so late in the day that we would have had to cancel our restaurant reservation.

Dear Hubert,
we are sorry for the inconvenience. The booking you made on the same day was unfortunately automatically confirmed by our system. In addition, we had received a reservation request from the property where you were staying, which was later cancelled by you, as communicated to us by the concierge.
Since we had no other tours scheduled that day, we were carrying out some work in the winery. As soon as we realized the situation, we contacted you immediately and, since the booking had already been paid for, we felt it was only right to issue an immediate refund.
We are truly sorry for what happened, especially as we tried to offer alternative times for the visit. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you in the future, provide a complete winery experience, and receive your feedback on the visit. Kind regards, Vini Vella.
