Cantine Nicosia, a wine producer from Sicily, based in the town of Trecastagni near to Catania. It's a family-run company with a long winemaking tradition, linked firmly to the territory around the Etna volcano, in the southeastern part of the island. Francesco Nicosia founded a winery in 1898, when the wine of Sicily was produced in large amounts and exported all over the world. Then was already appreciated the charm of the wine from the surroundings of Etna, reminding of volcanic minerals. Over the past few decades the panorama of Sicilian wine has been evidently transformed. Thanks to courage and persistence of the current owner, Carmelo Nicosia, and his sons, Francesco and Graziano, today Cantine Nicosia is a recognized and well-known brand in the entire island. Big sums were involved to provide modern technical facilities and to project environmentally friendly vineyards, using a little amount of or almost no chemicals. The majority of Nicosia's vineyards spread over the Etna DOC zones, or in the direct proximity to the Etna volcano, which is still active. This zone gives autochthonous red wines, Nerello Cappuccio and Nerello Mascalese, and Carricante among whites. Other vineyards are located further to the south, in the surroundings of the town of Victoria, where, for the present, is produced Sicily's only DOCG wine, Cerasuolo di Vittoria, made from the local grapes, Nero d'Avola and Frappato.
