Cellar - Prince of Corleone
The Principe di Corleone Winery has its roots in the heart of Sicily, a land rich in history and winemaking tradition. Founded by the Pollara family, for decades this winery has maintained an approach that combines traditional methods with winemaking innovation, cultivating native grapes such as Nero d'Avola, Inzolia, and Catarratto, alongside international varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. The vineyards extend across hillsides immersed in the region's mild climate, between Corleone and Monreale, characterized by varied soils that impart unique aromatic complexity to the wines. Thanks to a combination of manual harvesting and modern technology, the winery meticulously manages every stage of production, enhancing the balance between acidity, structure, and aromas of the grapes. This commitment guarantees fine wines that represent an authentic expression of the Sicilian terroir and enjoy success both nationally and internationally.
Almond-flavored wine
With a long Sicilian tradition, this fortified wine represents the meeting point of two of the island's true treasures: viticultural and enological expertise with the region's most celebrated fruit. The almond is a fundamental component of Sicilian confectionery, and its tree is a defining feature of the landscape.
The fruity notes typical of the base wine are enriched with the characteristic aroma of almond, in a perfect balance between the sweet sensations and the slightly bitter accent, of long persistence.
