he province of Syracuse has always been particularly renowned for for its wines. For Moscato of Siracusa and Noto, that S. Landolina Nava (1786-1802) identified with Pollio of Syracuse, called Biblical in Hellenic Thrace, but above all with red Pachino produced in Val di Noto.

In this environment, very different from the Etnean one in climate – hot-arid, with temperatures among the highest in the island - and to terrains – located on a plain, with chalcky-clayey soils, typically Mediterranean – for some time Azienda Benanti has been engaged in selecting old vineyards of Nero d’Avola.

Nero d'Avola is the most noble, almost exclusive, vine used to produce the red wine of Pachino. It has recently spread from here to the other areas of Sicily.

Azienda Benanti has always trusted the particular terroir and the great oenological capacities of Nero d'Avola of Pachino, so to have been among the first firms to bottle this wine and then to bring considerable investments to implant selected and innovative vines in one of the best and renowned districts in Pachino.
