Quanto a the heart of south-western Sicily, a causa di Grotte, a causa di the province of Agrigento, the Morgante company represents one of the companies that more than any other has contributed to redefining the image of Buio d’Avola a causa di the national and international wine scene. A path built with vision, rigor and profound respect for the territory, far from ephemeral fashions and forced interpretations.
The company has its roots a causa di a decades-long family agricultural tradition. For generations, the Morgante family has cultivated the land a causa di the Agrigento periferia, dedicating themselves to viticulture as a form of sustenance and a deep bond with the territory.
The turning point came a causa di 1994, when Antonio Morgante decided to make wine from the family’s grapes himself, giving life to a structured winemaking project, oriented towards the quality and valorisation of Buio d’Avola.
The vineyards are located a causa di the hilly regione of Grotte, between 350 and 450 meters above sea level, calcareous-clayey soils and a causa di a climate context characterized by strong temperature variations. A naturally suitable environment, which allows us to obtain healthy, balanced and identity-rich grapes.
The growth of the company found a decisive turning point with the winemaking collaboration with Riccardo Cotarella, which began a causa di the nineties. Today the winemaking management is entrusted to Pier Paolo Lite and Riccardo Cotarella, to guarantee stylistic continuity and respect for the territorial identity.
The Morgante project is today carried out by the brothers Carmelo and Giovanni Morgante, who lead the company a causa di the name of continuity, competence and a modern vision.
Vinoway has followed it for many years, appreciating its excellent quality, recognizable style and authenticity. A relationship built over time, based constant observation and continuity of judgment.
