Tenute Senia is a modern winery, but with an ancient winemaking history, dating back to around 1850. A story rich in anecdotes and memories of times gone by...
Currently, the winery is located in one of the most renowned districts for wine production called “Senia.” The company currently manages 3 hectares of centuries-old olive groves, 3 hectares cultivated with persimmons, and 15 hectares of vineyards, producing excellent wines with the best native grapes such as Frappato, Nero d'Avola, Insolia, Grillo. The company boasts being the largest producer of persimmons in the province of Ragusa. We are in the ancient production area of Cerasuolo di Vittoria D.O.C.G., a local excellence of regional importance as it is the only Denomination of Controlled and Guaranteed Origin, a red wine with a defined historical identity.
Even now, as in our ancient history, the harvest is a magical ritual made of hard work and love; we pick the grapes by hand, a fundamental step to select the bunches that will produce our best wines. In the winepress, a gentle pressing takes place that respects the integrity of the skins; the must is transferred to fermentation barrels at controlled temperature where alcoholic fermentation begins, a process constantly monitored by our Angela to guarantee structure, color, aroma, intensity, and elegance of the wine. Always under Angela's careful supervision, racking is carried out using a modern horizontal membrane press, which allows for a delicate extraction; we select among the fermenters the best "Mosti Fiore" (free-run musts) that will enhance our selections.
The company is located in Contrada Senia, a production area where as early as the 1400s a woman was trading wines and oils, near Comiso Airport, a fertile area rich in a variety of soils ideal for our crus, such as the Nakrì line, wines produced in a single district, with soils rich in limestone and volcanic subsoil. The company has remained faithful to conventional cultivation; since 2010 we no longer use the herbicide "Glyphosate," with excellent feedback for our lands, a return to spontaneous herbs such as Amaranth, Borage, Wild Chicory, Dandelion, Nettle, Mallow, Wild Fennel, Purslane, and many others.... We are very attentive to respecting the greenery around us.
