Tenuta Gorghi Tondi

Tenuta Gorghi Tondi derives its name from the lakes Preola and Gorghi Tondi, situated on the property, a WWF wildlife reserve on the South Western coast of Sicily. Patriarch Michele Sala has been a part of the prestigious Marsala producer Pellegrino. Now working with daughters Annamaria and Clara along with enologist Tonino Guzzo they have established one of the largest and finest wineries in Sicily with great potential to grow and receiving acclaim.

Vines average 15 years of age, but 40 year old vines also exist. Additional planting is in progress. The vineyards of 118 hectares surrounds the lakes and stretches towards the sea.

Indigenous Sicilian varietals are their focus, but innovation in the form of sparkling and passito also have a place. Although the winery is not certified organic, viticulture is strictly natural without use of chemical and utilizing naturally occurring indigenous yeasts.

Three tiers of native varietals are produced and only estate grown fruit is used. The winery is state of the art and is well positioned for growth.
