About the Winery: Cantine De Gregorio
Cantine De Gregorio lies at the heart of a true Mediterranean melting pot, halfway between Sciacca and Menfi, facing the mystical Isola Ferdinandea — a dormant submarine volcano. Its volcanic soil, momentarily asleep but very much alive, nurtures 25 hectares of vineyards where international grape varieties grow side by side with indigenous ones, each finding their perfect environment.
The story begins in a small countryside village built around a 15th-century watchtower. Over time, the land surrounding it became a winery, where farmers crafted wines with delicate yet intense flavours.
This village, Ragana — a name derived from the ancient Arabic Ras-hana, meaning “land of friendship” — is also the birthplace of Ugo Testoni, a passionate winemaker inspired by the area’s deep-rooted traditions. Today, his daughter Maruzza, together with her husband Ascanio and their children Francesca, Antonio, and Ugo, proudly continue the legacy of their father and ancestors.
The family has lovingly restored the old winery, bringing together traditional techniques and modern innovation. With mild winters, hot dry summers, and an abundance of Mediterranean sunlight — combined with precise vineyard care — their vines yield healthy fruit that becomes truly exceptional wines.
Dragonara Tannat 2023 IGP
NEW! A great red wine by Cantine De Gregorio.
Tannat is a bold red wine grape, famous for its deep color, rich dark fruit flavors and firm tannins. Originally from southwest France, it is also succesfully planted in Sicily.
The grapes, harvested in September, rest in stainless steel for about 16 months and a further 4 months in bottle. The result is a wine with great structure and body, well-balanced, where acidity, alcohol, and tannins coexist in perfect harmony.

It pairs well with red and white meat dishes, game, wild fowl, and medium-aged cheeses. Also excellent with pasta dishes featuring meat or vegetables. |
