SGALY Vini Biologici

The story of SGALY Vini is rooted in passion, sacrifice, and a deep respect for the land. At the end of the 19th century, grandfather Antonio Sgalippa lovingly cultivated his small vineyard in Monte Vidon Combatte, a charming village just a few kilometers from Ortezzano. His vines, traditionally “married to the maple tree,” produced a wine that became the pride of his daily life and laid the foundations for a family legacy.

In the early 1960s, Mario and Rosa Sgalippa, parents of Tommaso Sgalippa, returned from a successful work experience in Australia. They invested their savings in two plots of land in Ortezzano and Monterinaldo, initially dedicated to livestock and cereal farming. However, driven by determination and vision, they chose to focus on viticulture. Specialized vineyards were planted, gradually replacing zootechnics and transforming grape growing into the core of the business.

During the 1970s, the family selected high-quality grape varieties such as Montepulciano and Barbera, entrusting production to a local agricultural cooperative while continuing to expand and improve vineyard management. In the late 1980s, after the untimely passing of his father Mario, Tommaso Sgalippa, newly qualified in agriculture, took over the management of the estate from his mother Rosa.

After a decade of intense dedication in the vineyards, motivated by ambition and unwavering belief in his path, Tommaso embarked on a new chapter: creating a fully integrated, high-quality production cycle where grapes would reign as the true protagonists. By the second half of the 1990s, increased production was paired with an innovative philosophy centered on environmental respect and the pursuit of healthy, natural wines.

The winery, located in Ortezzano in the Aso River valley along the S.P. 238 road (km 20.8), was completed in 2005 to finalize the production cycle and enhance the value of the estate’s grapes. Surrounded by Chardonnay vineyards, the 600-square-meter cellar has a capacity of 1,200 hectoliters and is equipped with modern winemaking technology.

The structure includes:

A large central area dedicated to vinification, fermentation, and storage

Two temperature-controlled rooms

One for aging wines in small oak barrels

One for storing bottled wines ready for delivery
