IIn one of the most suitable areas of Western Sicily where the sun sets behind the Egadi islands, on the hill that the Arabs called Musìta, the hopes of five generations and the story of a family were born.

It was the end of the 800 when Don Ignazio Ardagna, a man of great foresight and in love with this land, planted the first vineyard on the slopes of the Musìta, with the desire and the hope of realizing a dream. Few strains of Catarratto, planted with sapling, cultivated with infinite love. So much effort for a truly unique fruit. A passion that Don Ignazio transferred to his son Domenico and, therefore, to his nephew Giuseppe.

A tradition handed down from father to son, cultivating these lands with the same care and dedication. In the 70s some farmers put their forces together, founding a cooperative and building a winery on the same hill where the Ardagnua family has been cultivating their vineyards for more than a century. Also Giuseppe conferred the fruit of his work in that cellar but with the desire to see their children one day tell the world that unique fruit, born in this enchanted land.

Today the Ardagna family has realized that ancient dream, acquiring and bringing new life to that old cellar, cultivating about 50 hectares of vineyards, partly still on the slopes of the Musìta, with new techniques but with the passion of the past. On the hilly territories of Salemi at an altitude of up to 500 meters. s.l.m., are produced different varieties such as Catarratto, Grillo, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Nero d’Avola.

The management is completely familiar, both in the vineyards and in the winery, and every processing process is followed by expert agronomists and oenologists who are increasingly aiming at enhancing what this beautiful land expresses.
