THE HISTORY
Sambuca di Sicilia is located high on a hill in the Belice Valley and is surrounded in lush vegetation. The town was named for its founder – Al Zabuth the Charming, an Arab Emir. Al Zabuth concentrated his efforts on local agriculture, which had been previously lagging.
Still today, the surrounding area is covered with archaeological artifacts that point to the generations of farmers who have lived here over the centuries. The agricultural traditions of the area fit well with the philosophy of the owners: “The art of winemaking can create nothing more than what the grapes contain in nature.”
THE TERROIR
The vines that grow in the Sambuca region are exposed to the hot Sicilian summer days but cool nights help the grapes develop wonderful, layered flavors. The heat is also tempered by the generous water supply of Lake Arancio which helps create an ideal microclimate.
