Who makes it
Tenute dei Ciclopi was founded from a university friendship among Giacomo, Giordano and Riccardo, with Salvo Foti as enologist. Its vineyards span Castiglione di Sicilia, Randazzo and Milo, where the estate restores historic sites, tends old own-rooted vines and maintains Sicilian alberello training with chestnut stakes.
