Collection: Agricola Gilì

Agricola Gilì is run by the young and passionate winemaking duo Ermanno Vella and Alice Marconcini, who live on Sicily’s southwest coast in the picturesque village of Granitola Torretta, south of Marsala. Their deep connection to the land and love of nature culminated in December 2022 with the launch of their own project, focused on crafting natural wines that express the true character of their region. Their first vintage, 2023, already reflects this commitment.

The vineyards lie on the edge of the Gorghi Tondi Nature Reserve, renowned for its dramatic karst landscape of limestone formations, sinkholes, and caves. This exceptional environment is more than a vineyard, t is part of a rich, diverse, and thriving ecosystem.

Farming at Agricola Gilì follows a biodynamic philosophy. In October 2023, they produced their first 500 biodynamic preparations to enrich the soils and support vine health.

The estate focuses on indigenous Sicilian varieties such as Grillo and Catarratto, cultivated in harmony with natural cycles. Synthetic chemicals are avoided, and soil disturbance is minimized to preserve fertility and biodiversity for future generations. Their approach is rooted in sustainability and environmental responsibility, while honoring the original, close-to-nature traditions of Sicilian viticulture.
