Neri
When Vincenzo Neri decided to return to Linguaglossa ( Sicily) from the U.S. where he had emigrated over a century ago, he had no doubts: his future would be closely tied to Mount Etna. With the fortune made overseas, he decided to invest by purchasing farmland. Today, the estate extends over 8 hectares of vineyards plus olive groves. This land is divided between contrada Arrigo and Borrigliona, at an altitude of 600 meters above sea level, on a beautifully complex terroir, thanks to its volcanic soil with important mineral components.
The Neri family, now in its fourth generation, has remained faithful to their great-grandfather’s vision, passing down from generation to generation their love for these black and fertile volcanic lands, as well as the respect for sustainable cultivation methods. Today the company is managed by his grandchildren Salvo and Fabio who, with the approval of their parents Santo and Nina, have further developed the family activity.
