Our vineyards

The Di Giovanna property consists of 65 hectares of vineyards planted in Sambuca di Sicilia, on calcareous soil in the highest areas (2,800 ft above sea level) and with a greater presence of volcanic tuff soil as the vines descend (1,500 ft above sea level) to Contessa Entellina. The vines are trained on single cordon with spur pruning. All in certified organic farming.
