Wines Feudo Principi di Butera

In the heart of Sicily lies the Feudo Principi di Butera, in the province of Caltanissetta, which is recognised today as one of the best wine making regions in Italy thanks above all to its production of high quality, prestigious red wines. The main vine is the autochthonous Nero d'Avola, recognized worldwide as a symbol of the renewed Sicilian oenological tradition. Other varieties which have found an excellent terroir in our vineyards are, among the red wines, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, whereas we can find, among the white wines, Chardonnay and Insolia, another autochthonous wine with an elegant personality. The harvest is fundamental moment in which time, experience and attention are required. At Feudo it usually begins during the third week of August and ends in the first week of October. The first bunch to be picked is always that of Chardonnay grapes, followed by the ones that will be used to make the Syrah and Merlot red wines. After that, the grapes used for Insolia, Cabernet Sauvignon and Nero d'Avola are picked.
