Wife and husband team Marita and Guglielmo Manenti personally tend the 4 hectares of vineyards that make up Manenti. Located in the historical district of Vittoria, traditional bush vine cultivation dominates. The soil is a blend of sand and clay, with little bedrock. This allows the vines direct access to underground aquifers, negating the need for irrigation. The Manentis practice biologic farming throughout their site, with minimal intervention in the vineyard.
About Azienda Agricola Manenti
About Azienda Agricola Manenti
Cerasuolo di Vittoria became a DOCG in 2005, the only DOCG in Sicily. In the last century the Ragusa province was so deeply affected by the phylloxera epidemic that most farmers, having witnessed the devastation of their vineyards, decided to change their crops into fruit and vegetables. Only in the last 20 years there has been a steady return to vine growing. Manenti belongs to the new generation of winemakers working to restore winegrowing in Ragusa.
