Wines Feudi del Pisciotto
"Wine is a mixture of light and earthy humors..."
Galileo Galilei
Feudi del Pisciotto is an old manor with 49 hectares of vineyards in the heart of the Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG area, and a point of reference for wine lovers, thanks to wines that have won prizes all over the world. These include the Nero d'Avola Versace, which was included in the top 100 wines in the world by Wine Spectator. Alongside the top quality basic line, Linea Fico also offers the Linea Feudi del Pisciotto, a line that combines excellent quality wine with the beauty of labels created by the most important Italian Fashion Designers. L’Eterno, pinot noir in its purest form and the Grand Vin of the winery, is the symbol of the quality of the wine making project of Feudi del Pisciotto, and its commitment to social issues.
The Feudi del Pisciotto winery combines respect for tradition and nature with the most modern technology, and produces around 400,000 bottles with 16 different labels. At Feudi del Pisciotto, the union between ancient and modern is also celebrated by bringing back the old wine making process that only uses the force of gravity for moving the must. In fact, the grapes are picked by hand in the vineyard, and after further sorting and removal of the stalks, they slide into the vats in the Winery, moved by the force of gravity. This saves energy and limits carbon dioxide emissions, but above all, it prevents the deterioration of the raw material that would take place if oenological pumps were used to move the grapes.

The Terroir
The wine making process of Feudi del Pisciotto is based on the philosophy of the master Italian winemaker Giacomo Tachis, according to which the “terroir of Sicily allows any type of vine to be grown successfully, with the right knowledge”.
The labels of Feudi del Pisciotto are the result of the genius of Tachis and the skills of his heir apparent, Alessandro Cellai, wine maker and Managing Director of the winery together with resident wine maker Marco Parisi. And Feudi del Pisciotto owes its 100% Pinot Noir known as L’Eterno, which has been in production since the 2011 harvest, to one of Tachis’ intuitions.
The excellence of the wines of Feudi del Pisciotto is the result of careful study, passion and dedication. The wine is produced with respect for nature and in line with the principles of sustainability. The indigenous and international vines are grown with care and love to guarantee a finished product of the highest quality.
