Tenuta Bastonaca
Vittoria, SicilyFounded 200718 ha of vineyardtenutabastonaca.it
Tenuta Bastonaca takes its name from the Bastonaca district in the heart of the Cerasuolo di Vittoria zone, where the cellar sits in an 18th-century palmento. Fifteen hectares of head-trained bush vines of Frappato, Nero d'Avola, Grenache and Tannat are farmed by hand without irrigation and in conversion to organic, with Carlo Ferrini consulting. A one-hectare plot of 50-year-old Nerello vines at Solicchiata on Etna's north slope completes the estate.
