THE TERROIR
A UNIQUE TERROIR, AN EXPRESSION OF A WINE CULTURE THAT HAS BEEN HANDED DOWN FOR GENERATIONS
Principi di Butera is located in Sicily, in the province of Caltanissetta, in the ‘Riesi’ DOC appellation: the home of Sicily’s great autochthonous grape varietals and the adopted habitat of Nero d’Avola. Known for its production of fine, prestigious red wines, this area’s hot and arid climate optimizes the development and perfect ripening of the grapes. The sea breezes instil their beneficial influence on the vineyards and there is a warm, strong light that is typical of the southern part of the island.
AN UNRIVALED CULTURAL HERITAGE
The Estate, which extends into the ancient confines of the feifdom of Feudo Deliella, is located along the axis that connects two of the seven Sicilian sites declared World Heritage Sites by UNESCO: the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento and Villa Romana del Casale in Piazza Armerina.
