Feudo Maccari

Antonio Moretti Cuseri founded Feudo Maccari in 2000 after discovering the landscape around Noto in Sicily in the late 1990s. He assembled the property from more than fifty landowners near the Vendicari nature reserve. The estate spans nearly 265 hectares, with about 60 hectares under vine.

Sea breezes, strong sunlight and soils that shift from pale limestone to darker sand shape the growing conditions. Nero d’Avola, Grillo and Syrah share the vineyards, with traditional bush-vine training especially important to the Nero d’Avola. The cellar uses steel, egg-shaped cement vessels, earthenware and oak for different wines.
