In 2004, Feudo Arancio introduced the world’s first-ever Sicilia DOC wine (Grillo), followed a few years later by the first-ever Sicilia DOC Riserva Bianco. While other wineries soon stepped up and claimed the first Sicilia DOC Riserva Rosso, Feudo Arancio’s early leadership set a new benchmark for quality across the region. Since then, Feudo Arancio has grown into the Group’s flagship premium Sicilian brand, proudly serving the HoReCa sector, specialized wine shops, and premium (e-) retail with wines that embody the richness and authenticity of Sicily.

Sicily, the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea, served as a crossroads for ancient civilizations. Today, it boasts one of Europe’s most dynamic wine industries. Though a part of Italy, Sicily’s breadth of landscapes approximates a small country itself. The Greeks, Phoenicians, Arabs and Italians have all held sway over Sicily. Though the Greeks brought their advanced viticulture techniques, Sicilians have been making wine since 4000 BC. Its dry, warm climate features regular sunshine and moderate rainfall that suits wine production. Arid conditions reduce the chance of rot and mildew, especially in areas kissed with coastal breezes. This makes Sicily a prime candidate for organic farming. Olives, citrus and grains drive the agricultural sector beyond wine.
