The History of The Masseria
Masseria Sant'Elia is located in Petralia Sottana, in the heart of the Madonie Park, in a place that has played a strategic role since Roman times thanks to the presence of the Imera River. A crossroads of water, crops and traditions, this land has preserved the work and dedication of entire generations over the centuries.
Since 2017, our family has been its custodian: we have chosen to preserve its agricultural identity, enhancing every hectare of its ten hectares of fertile countryside with an approach that respects natural rhythms and biodiversity. The Masseria is not only a place of production, but a space of memory and continuity, where the past dialogues with the present through ancient gestures and conscious choices.

We Make Wine
Ut enim ad minim veniam quis nostrud
The vineyard is unique in the Madonie area: it is located at an altitude of 1,000 metres, in an extraordinary soil and climate context, where the temperature range, exposure and nature of the soil contribute to creating a distinctive terroir. To the north stand the Madonie mountains, while to the south there is a view of the village of Petralia Sottana: it is in this balance between altitude, climate and landscape that the identity of our wine takes shape.
Inside the Masseria is the ancient Palmento, dating back to the 1600s, a tangible testimony to a winemaking tradition rooted in time: this place preserves the memory of generations who have worked the vines with passion and respect. The vineyard and the Palmento are not just productive elements: they are symbols of an agricultural history that belongs to this land and continues to be proudly preserved.
