“Character” is the password of Bruno Fina and his family. Fina’s wines are the result of a land that is loved and fought for, they have the taste of the passion and of that grapes that have been wisely turned into wine, thanks to the dedication of the work in the vineyard. They have the familiar warmth and the experience of who has always done wine and has always know how to narrate it. This is how you transmit the hereditary character of the territory and the harmony of the men that search for excellence on a daily basis.

About the grape variety

The Grillo grape variety is one of the oldest in Sicily. It perhaps best evokes the richness of aromas and sensations. Tasting it is like a “leap” straight into the soul of the region.

From a single vineyard within the Stagnone Nature Reserve comes our cru Grillo Riserva. A tiny production that represents our identity-driven vision of Grillo for the “Orizzonti” line. A project born of time, passion, and patience. The Stagnone Reserve is a geologically gifted area, able to endow the glass with unique traits that bring joy from palate to soul.
