Merlot 2017/18 - La Sicilyana Wines

About the Winery: Cantine Fina

Cantine Fina is one of the youngest and most exciting vineries in Sicily, owned by the enologist Bruno Fina and his family. Cantine Fina is located in Marsala, in one of the most beautiful, and still little known, tourist areas of Italy near Marsala, a city known more for its famous wine than for its landscape beauties.

The vineyards of Cantina Fina extend mainly along the hill where the cellar and the beautiful HQ are located, with native vines such as Grillo, Nero d'Avola and Perricone alongside Interantional grapes like Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and many more

Bruno Fina is a pioneer in winemaking, the first planting a traditionally Northern Italian/German grape like the Traminer in sunny Sicily, creating one of our best selling wines, the excellent Kikè, named after Bruno’s daughter Federica (Kiketta) who works in the family business with her brothers Marco and Sergio.

The vinery is certified organic, the land is worked with sustainable and traditional agricultural methods with no use of pesticides or chemicals.
