Armosa Winery

Philosophy at Armosa

Located in the picturesque town of Scicli in Sicily's Ragusa province, Armosa Winery was founded by Michele Molgg in 2002. The winery's mission is to enhance the reputation of Sicily's native Nero d’Avola grape. By cultivating this grape across various terroirs, Armosa produces wines that showcase unique personalities and flavors. The estate spans 5.2 hectares dedicated to Nero d’Avola and 0.8 hectares of white Muscat. Notable wines include Siclys and Curma, crafted from Nero d’Avola, and Salipetrj, made from white Muscat. They also produce Grappa Ayn, adding to their diverse offerings.

Unique Terroir of Scicli

The terroir surrounding Scicli encompasses charming villages like Sampieri, Donnalucata, and Cata d’Aliga, known for their stunning beaches and olive-covered hills. This region, situated at the confluence of three valleys, boasts a diverse microclimate ideal for cultivating high-quality grapes. At Armosa, vineyard work is performed manually to ensure the health of the grapes and maintain ecological balance. Grapes are harvested during the cooler hours of the day, with only the finest selected for winemaking.

Artisanal Winemaking Techniques

Armosa's wine cellar, created from restored rural buildings, features stainless steel tanks that allow for controlled fermentation. The winery employs minimal intervention techniques to preserve the wines' natural characteristics. Aging occurs in oak barrels, enhancing the flavor and aroma profiles. Each vintage tells the story of its year, resulting in wines that are distinct and memorable.
