Cantine Settesoli

Cantine Settesoli was founded in 1958 by 68 growers who wanted to bring greater value to Menfi’s grapes and farming families. By its first harvest in 1965, the cooperative had 302 members and a site for receiving grapes and making wine. In the 1970s, it invested in its own bottling line and began exporting bottled wines at a time when Sicily’s trade was dominated by bulk wine.

Today, roughly 2,000 members farm about 6,000 hectares planted with 36 grape varieties, with part of the vineyard area certified organic. The cooperative’s agronomists help growers with pruning, soil care, disease prevention and harvest planning, while its cellar team handles winemaking and bottling.
