Celebrating Sicilian Winemaking Tradition

Tenuta Bastonaca is a winery that honors its Sicilian roots while continuously striving for excellence. Located in Cerasuolo di Vittoria, this modern winery is named after Contrada Bastonaca and is housed in an 18th-century millstone. Visitors can enjoy the delightful aroma of pressed grapes and grape must, which fills the air. The estate spans 15 hectares and features bush vines alongside ancient Carolea olive trees, creating a picturesque landscape.

Organic Practices and Local Varietals

The region's climate is ideal for vine cultivation, and Tenuta Bastonaca employs organic and sustainable farming methods. Without irrigation, the grapes absorb the sun's warmth, contributing to the unique character of the wines. Recently, the winery acquired a one-hectare vineyard plot in Castiglione di Sicilia, near Mount Etna, featuring 50-year-old vines of Cappuccio and Nerello Mascalese. The primary grapes cultivated here are Nero d’Avola and Frappato, which are used to produce both red and rosé wines.

Natural Winemaking Techniques

At Tenuta Bastonaca, winemaking is a natural process, free from chemicals. The grapes undergo fermentation and aging in oak barrels, enhancing their flavor and aroma. The Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG wines are a true reflection of the region's rich terroir. In addition to wine, the estate also produces high-quality extra virgin olive oil from its own olive trees. The winery is adorned with over a thousand red roses, adding to its charm and beauty.

Our winery takes its name from “Contrada Bastonaca”
a district which has always been considered the heart of the production of Cerasuolo di Vittoria
Frappato and Nero d’Avola. In this land
full of wine stories
you will nd our young and modern winery whose roots are deeply embedded in the local wine-making tradition. The winery is located inside an ancient millstone of the Eighteenth century
where you get the sensation of being welcomed by the unmistakeable fragrant aroma of freshly pressed grapes and boiling must. All around
spread over an area of 15 hectares
head-trained bush vines renew a glorious past
but at the same time
look towards a promising future. A thousand ancient olive trees of the rare variety Carolea
with their silver-green foliage fully exalt the extraordinary chromatic shades of our vineyards. We grow with love Frappato and Nero d’Avola
Grenache and Tannat
combining tradition and innovation
driven by great passion and curiosity. Our vineyards are cultivated in conversion to organic farming
by hand
with sweat and toil
in a vision of natural farming. We do not irrigate the soil so to ensure that each grape can keep inside itself the warmth of the land and its wonderful sunshine
elements that make our wine and our Sud unique. Another dream was ful lled: we have recently acquired a 1 hectare plot of 50 year-old-vines of Nerello Mascalese and Cappuccio placed in Castiglione di Sicilia (Solicchiata district)
near Mount Etna
the biggest active volcano in Europe
a place of extreme beauty and strong emotions. Only natural and recyclable raw materials are used
because environmental protection is our rst goal. This is our intent and that of Carlo Ferrini
agronomist and oenologist of exquisite sensitivity
who strongly supports our daily hard work.

Truly suggestive place. Mrs. Silvana was the extra touch that made the experience fantastic. He accompanied us around the estate and explained its history and then concluded with the tasting of 4 wines, one better than the other. A perfect alternative to spend quality time with friends and family (wine lovers of course)
