Versante Sud

Nicolosi is the south side This is where it all started when Andrea Serafica, returning from America in 1950
In 1950, dedicated himself to the cultivation of vineyards. Today the company wants to tell the story of the territory through this line of unique wines
, such as the slope that looks at the summit of Etna on one side and Catania and the Ionian Sea on the other.

In the cellar

If the vineyards are at the heart of the company, the winery is the control centre where it is not only fundamental to value the great work done in the vineyard but also to reduce waste and intervene as little as possible.

Since 2021 the winemaker is Nicola Colombo, who took his first steps next to Giacomo Tachis and Riccardo Cotarella and has joined the wine project of Serafica family on the south side of Etna
