The Terroir
The character and uniqueness of the wines produced by Abbazia Santa Anastasia represent the result of the alchemy that binds the locally cultivated vines to the characteristics of the soil, the microclimate and the production philosophy.
The notion of Terroir originates from the indissoluble intertwining of these aspects, a concept that goes far beyond the meaning of territory. Terroir is the exclusivity of unique micro-climatic conditions and the intervention of man in the cycle of nature.

Mediterranean Sea, Sicily, biodynamic cultivation
a terroir which is a pure expression of the symbiosis between man and nature
The native grapes such as Catarratto and the great international vines such as Cabernet Sauvignon, find space in vineyards spread over 65 hectares on a hilly terrain in the heart of the Madonie Park at an altitude between 200 and 500 meters above sea level.
The hectares of vines cover the area of Contrada Santa Anastasia. The soil is mainly composed of clay: a material that gives great structure, elegance, and a wide range of fine scents. Each single plot, with its unique chemical compositions, gives the bunches different characteristics and complex and varied organoleptic nuances. The high quality of the Abbazia Santa Anastasia labels comes from the excellence of the grapes and the meticulous work carried out in the vineyards through the use of natural fertilizers and correct growing techniques for each vine. Together with the gentle breeze of the Mediterranean Sea and the biological and biodynamic techniques, this terroir strongly influences the quality of the wines of Abbazia Santa Anastasia, enhancing its pleasantness.
