The Winery
Among the hills of Piazza Armerina and Caltagirone stands our majestic winery. Ready to tell you its story.
Where Time Became Wine
Tradition, innovation and love for the land: the heart of Gigliotto Tenute.
The Construction of the Monastery
The Benedictine monks laid the first stones of the baglio, conceiving the structure as the pulsating heart of their land reclamation and farming activity.
The Savoca Family
The Savoca family purchases and completely restores the Gigliotto estate. The project to recover the ancient Benedictine monastery begins, along with the start of agricultural activities.
The Agriturismo is Born
The Gigliotto agriturismo opens: 26 rooms in Baroque style, a restaurant with 250 indoor seats and a panoramic terrace, a pool and event spaces. The estate becomes a hub of Sicilian hospitality.
The Modern Winery
Elio Savoca inaugurates the winery: 6,000 sqm built with natural materials — wood and stone — to ensure optimal insulation and thermal control. The first Gigliotto Tenute labels are born.
14 Labels, 200 Hectares
Over 14 prestigious labels, 25 hectares of Guyot-trained vineyards with south-facing orientation, organic certification for over twenty years. Gigliotto Tenute is today a reference point for Sicilian wine worldwide.
