The Quignones Wine Cellar comes to life thanks to the passionate and gentle work of Alfredo Quignones, who continues a project begun by his great-great-grandfather in the 1800s, aiming today at the production of natural wines that offer a different expression of Sicily, through the use of rare grape varieties and particular winemaking and aging methods. We are proudly small, producing wine and extra virgin olive oil, linked to traditional practices such as rigorous hand harvesting and the patient aging of wines. Our wines are the result of a love story: that between the hills where our vines ripen and the sea. One facing each other for centuries. The hill, bathed in sun and superb nature, sighs while gazing at the immense sea, which watches it from afar, blowing a breeze, sometimes sweet and sometimes powerful, filled with its fragrance. Ancient landscapes that span over 100 hectares in the most authentic and lesser-known Sicily, lands rich in millennia of history, that have belonged to the Quignones family for over 2 centuries. To make good wine takes time. We bottle it for a living, so that you can enjoy it, adding our time to yours: perhaps this is the magic that a bottle of wine can create. There are no secrets, it's just love, nature, time, and hard work. Over two centuries of history and good family traditions. It was Baron Raffaele Quignones, great-great-grandfather of the current owner, who purchased the vast property called Tenuta d’Apaforte. In this charming setting, characterized by ancient olive trees, large almond orchards, and particularly calcareous soil, there was a vineyard. That grape, of an intense violet hue, with the typically loose cluster, has always been called Calabrese. But over time, when the almond orchards gave way to vineyards, it was discovered that the precious Nero d’Avola inhabited those lands. Today, Alfredo Quignones follows in his father’s footsteps, who in the early 1970s decided to convert part of the company, specializing in grape cultivation, continuing a tradition that has become secular. And so, the ancient pergola systems were transformed into long rows of trellis that host the Nero d’Avola and Inzolia grape varieties, alongside cultivars such as Chardonnay, Fiano, Syrah, and Petit Verdot, thus promoting the excellences that symbolize the Mediterranean territory. All the shades of unspoiled nature, in a glass of wine. The one hundred hectares of our lands, predominantly calcareous, extend in the south of Sicily, more precisely in Licata, in the province of Agrigento. Our vineyards rise at the foot of the Sant’Oliva hill and expand up to its peak, 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, thanks to their proximity to the sea, they are constantly refreshed by the light marine breezes typical of the Mediterranean, giving the grapes truly special characteristics.
