About Winery and Wines

A professional in the field of marketing and communication, Francesco Giostra Reitano decided to come back to Sicily after 15 years of skillful experience out of his land. In 2004, he started the winery company with a handful of other young entrepreneurs and farmers. In the ancient family estate that was almost abandoned, he renewed the vineyard tradition with the DOC FARO plantation. Later he was able to start the renovation of the old family farmhouse, and antique olive grove with trees over one hundred years old. Though it was a challenge to produce a quality wine, it is now considered a delicacy from the territory of Messina.

In a beautiful vineyard with an old rural farmhouse overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Aeolian islands, we produce the wine DOC FARO, practicing natural farming. Our red Faro "Rasocolmo", is a bland of Nerello Mascalese, Nocera, Nerello Cappuccio, Nero d'Avola, Sangiovese and is aged exclusively in steel. We also produce a white wine Inzolia with grapes from Castiglione di Sicilia on the slopes of Etna. In September, during the harvest, we host tourists and wine lovers to share this moment of celebration and work, full of good food and smooth wine.
