A Historic Winery Reviving Rare Sicilian Grape Varieties

A Historic Winery in South-Eastern Sicily

Cantine Gulino is a family-owned winery nestled in Siracusa, surrounded by age-old vineyards and vibrant gardens, with the sea providing a protective embrace. The estate spans 15 hectares across three certified wine regions: Siracusa, Pachino, and Ispica. Notably, Siracusa is home to some of the oldest Moscato vines, dating back to the 1600s. A visit to Cantine Gulino reveals the hidden treasures of South-Eastern Sicily.

A Winemaking Legacy Since 1793

The story of Cantine Gulino began in 1793 when the family acquired the winery and millstone in Contrada Fanusa, along with its surrounding vineyards. Initially, the Gulino family cultivated fruits and vegetables until the 1990s, when a new generation took the reins. Sebastiano Gulino, the current owner, transformed the winery by renovating the cellar and replanting ancient grape varieties. Originally an otolaryngologist, he shifted his focus to winemaking to preserve family traditions.

Preserving Rare Grape Varieties

To combat the decline of old grape varieties, Sebastiano cultivates Moscato di Siracusa, Albanello, Nero d’Avola, and Insolia—some of Italy's rarest vines. He also grows aromatic Chardonnay and Syrah. His dedication to reviving Albanello is remarkable; he scoured the oldest vineyards of Contrada Fanusa to locate this unique grape and succeeded.

At Cantine Gulino, visitors can see an ancient millstone used for pressing grapes and an old pressing area next to the barrel room. The winery employs traditional oak barrels for aging and refining its wines. Experience the rich history, culture, and gastronomic heritage that Cantine Gulino has to offer.
