The Quignones Winery comes to life thanks to the passionate and kind work of Alfredo Quignones, who carries on a project initiated by his great-great-grandfather in the 1800s, aiming today for the production of natural wines that offer a different expression of Sicily, through the use of rare grape varieties and particular methods of vinification and aging. We are proudly small, we produce wine and extra virgin olive oil, linked to traditional practices such as strict hand harvesting and the patient aging of wines. Our wines are the result of a love story: that between the hills where our vineyards ripen and the sea, facing each other for centuries. The hill, cloaked by the sun and superb nature, sighs while gazing at the immense sea, which watches her from afar, blowing a breeze over her, sometimes sweet, sometimes powerful, laden with its fragrance. Ancient landscapes that stretch over more than 100 hectares in the most authentic and lesser-known Sicily, lands filled with millennia of history, belonging to the Quignones family for over 2 centuries. To make good wine takes time. We bottle it for a living, so you can enjoy it, summing our time with yours: perhaps this is the magic that a bottle of wine can create. There are no secrets, it’s only love, nature, time, and effort. Over two centuries of history and good family traditions. It was Baron Raffaele Quignones, the great-great-grandfather of the current owner, who purchased the vast estate called Tenuta d’Apaforte. In this enchanting setting, characterized by centuries-old olive trees, large almond groves, and particularly calcareous soil, there was a vineyard. It produced that grape, with an intense purplish hue, with the typically loose bunch, always called Calabrese. But over time, when the almond groves gave way to vineyards, it was discovered that what inhabited those lands was the precious Nero d’Avola. Today, Alfredo Quignones follows in his father’s footsteps, who in the early 1970s decided to convert part of the company, specializing it in vine cultivation, continuing a tradition that has now become secular. And so the ancient pergola systems were converted into long rows of spurred cordon hosting the Nero d’Avola and Inzolia grape varieties, alongside cultivars such as Chardonnay, Fiano, Syrah, and Petit Verdot, thus promoting the symbols of Mediterranean territory excellence. All the shades of unspoiled nature, in a glass of wine. The hundred hectares of our lands, predominantly calcareous in nature, extend in the south of Sicily, more precisely in Licata, in the province of Agrigento. Our vineyards rise on the slopes of the hill of Sant’Oliva and expand up to its summit, overlooking the vast plain of Licata, which continues to the sandy Mediterranean coasts. Exposed to the southwest, the plants enjoy the warmth of the sun for most of the day. Furthermore, due to their proximity to the sea, they are constantly refreshed by the gentle sea breezes typical of the Mediterranean, giving the grapes truly special characteristics.
