Castellucci Miano

Old vines, native grapes, microclimates, low yields, sustainable agriculture, and estate bottling at the origin. These are just some of the elements that go into the craftsmanship of artisanal wine.

The history of Castellucci Miano began as they studied and recovered the old bush vineyards from a previous expansion, thereby making them a unique example of biodiversity in the Valledolmo territory. The production philosophy developed while recovering this heritage. The wines produced from these grapes represent a rare example of the territory’s identity.

Castellucci Miano winery is not interested in mass-production wines. They are not interested is satisfying the international wine crowd. Instead, their wines are made to make a statement. The success of Castellucci Miano wines is a definitive confirmation of the land’s value. With only 75 hectares of vineyards distributed on the cliffs and valleys of the mountains surrounding Valledolmo, they represent the heritage of the local viticulture with a unique history.

They have been called “the tailors of Sicilian wine” because their wines are like a custom-tailored suit: striking, precise, and detailed.
