What our customers say
Branciforti –
Sicilian terroir between Erice and the sea
Tenuta Gelso Grande is located at an altitude of 300 to 400 meters in the hills between Mount Erice and the Aegadian Islands – one of the most distinctive locations in Western Sicily. The Mediterranean is close enough to cool the vines daily with a salty breeze, and far enough to give them the necessary depth. This interplay of altitude, heat, and sea air shapes every wine created here.
Branciforti focuses on the island's indigenous varieties: Grillo and Catarratto for the white wines, Nero d'Avola for the reds. No international varieties as a shortcut, no adaptation to mass taste – instead, wines that show what Sicily is capable of when you trust the grape varieties and the soil. The cultivation follows a sustainable approach that protects the uniqueness of the terroir rather than reshaping it.
Those who drink Branciforti wines get a concrete piece of Sicily in their glass: the warmth of the south, the freshness of the high altitude, and the mineral tension of a soil that has borne vines for generations.
