Patrì

About Winery and Wines

Cantine Patrì has solid roots, a tenacious story that was born in the territory of Butera in 1936, when Rocco Paterna gave life to the farm, it was then the son-in-law Giuseppe Patrì who took the reins with foresight and determination. And with the same determination, years later, his son Rocco and his wife Patrizia with their children Giuseppe, Elisa and Daniela, decided to enhance the extraordinary wine heritage of Butera, allocating a third of the two hundred and fifty hectares of property to the production of wines. Today the company is the pride and ambassador in the world with its labels, the expressive liveliness of the DOC Riesi, the DOC Sicily and the Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG. Quality classifications that have a distinctive value in the wine world, but also a transparency tool for consumers and a legislative means of fundamental importance to safeguard and enhance the territory and the agricultural traditions. Cantine Patrì is continuously looking for an increasingly higher quality standard of all company products, has a respectful vision of the environment, a rigorous management of the vineyards that does not renounce research and experimentation to tell the territory and its extraordinary plants with excellence, and raise the quality level of each individual label.

Cantine Patrì was born from the love for the land and a deep-rooted wine history. The environment is considered a real production factor, an element to be considered at the basis of the entire work. That’s why the company is dedicated to the protection of the environment and its specificities. The entire production of Cantine Patrì is part of a harmonious project that starts from the meticulous care of the processes, to the choice of the best bunches up to the cellar where a meticulous control of all phases begins with modern and respectful vinification processes. The company invests in research and scientifically valid early diagnosis with professional consultants and favours the use of sustainable products and organic methods; each sector has obtained important certifications: Global Gap (Good Agricultural Practice), ISO 14001, ISO14064, ISO 14046 and ISO 50001. And all under the supervision of the oenologist Antonio Landolfi, who, with skillful creativity, has been able to combine the knowledge of the vines with the most innovative fermentation and vinification techniques.
