In 1469 A.D. in the heartland of Sicily, within the Principality of Villanova, the noble Aragonese family Abatellis built the baglio (a typical Sicilian Court Square building). Now, six hundred years later, our wines are made in the same cellars, on the same land.

In 1469 A.D. in the heartland of Sicily, within the Principality of Villanova, the noble Aragonese family Abatellis built the baglio (a typical Sicilian Court Square building). Now, six hundred years later, our wines are made in the same cellars, on the same land.
Already in 1595 Andrea Bacci, agronomist and doctor of Pope Sisto V, praised in the pages of “De NaturaliVinorumHistoria”, the first treatise of Italian Enology, the wine – growing tradition and the quality of the wine produced in these lands.
In the late 1800’s the history of FeudoMontoni has been bounded together by the Siraci family, Fabio’s grandfather, Rosario, bought FeudoMontoni recognizing the particular characteristics related to the land and it’s biodiversity. He found ancient vines, like Perricone, Nero d’Avola and Catarratto. He especially fell in love with the wines from these grapes that present features of unusual elegance. That’s why he bought FeudoMontoni, guardian of the secret.
Elio, Fabio’s father selected in the second half of the 60’s, the best plants of the estate by Mass Selection, he planted new vineyards and modernized the cellar. Elio handed down his passion and respect for nature on to his son Fabio and teaches him the work ethics, the sacrifice for the achievement of a goal. Thiswork, if done with dedication and love, becomes a “wonderful trip” through life.
For the past 30 years Fabio continues the work of his grandfather and father, acting as a guardian of the ancient plants and their grapes. Fabio, knowing how important his work is, knows the past useful in order to look at the future.
The invention of tradition becomes the slogan of Fabio’s decisions. Fabio personally takes part in each step of the production process, from the vineyard to the cellar.
