Di Giovanna s.r.l.
Wine is a tradition in the Sicilian Di Giovanna family and has been for almost 150 years. The estate actually consists of five smaller estates. Of these, 3 lie at 350 to 450 metres in the municipality of Contessa Entellina, while the other two are at up to 800 metres in the mountains of Sambuca di Sicilia, a green oasis in Sicily’s mountain landscape. The past 25 years have shaped the wines made today. In 1985, Aurelio di Giovanna had something new in mind. With his German wife Barbara, he ventured into replanting, but only after thorough soil analyses. Using the results, he chose the most suitable varieties for each soil. As a result, the family’s 5 estates comprise a colourful mixture of indigenous and international grapes.
The two sons Klaus and Gunther are now responsible for the business. Both are proud to continue the family tradition together with 24 employees. The family estate has been organically certified for 13 years, although certification was merely official confirmation of what the Di Giovanna family had upheld for decades: producing wine according to organic principles.
To perfect their already very good wines further, the brothers brought internationally renowned oenologist Riccardo Cotarella on board. In the modern cellar, they pursue a clear style that respects each grape variety’s character. They produce 17 different wines, both single-variety organic wines and blends, ranging from fruity, fresh whites to powerful reds. White and red varieties are evenly balanced.
