Sofia is a family run winery located in the Comune di Castiglione di Sicilia, Frazione Solicchiata, Piano dei Daini. Sofia Gioacchino Carmelo, 68 years old, had been making wines (and olives) all his life following his dad’s footsteps. Until recently, the family produced juice for other local wineries. Following the growing notoriety of the region, Carmelo and Valentina, Gioachino’s children, convinced their father to set up their own winery. The story of Sofia finally began in 2017. The family owns about 3.5 hectares of vineyards farmed organically, and the winemaking is natural and low-impact.
