The Curtos boast a very ancient French origin, dating back to 1030. Towards the end of the 16th century the family moved to Spaccaforno where ancient documents prove their status of landowners. The Curtos are viticulturists since 1670. Towards the end of the 20th century, the estate began to seriously focus on wine making. They turned the 50 years “alberello “vineyard into a key plantation, planted new vineyards and created a new vinification cellar equipped with the most modern wine-making technologies.
The cellar is located in the beautiful setting of Villa Sulla (18th century) near Ispica, in a spectacular position among vineyards, citrus groves, olive groves, carob groves, and enclosed by the characteristic dry walls of the Modica area and by numerous necropolis.
The soil of the estate has a very calcareous nature and it is all part of the Eloro D.O.C. area, near Pachino, not far from Avola, the original town of the "Nero d'Avola" grape variety.
We are a historic winery and farm, passed down through 14 generations, dedicated to the artisanal production of high-quality wines and oils. We offer guided tours of the winery with tastings of 3 to 7 wines/oils, depending on preference. Guests can also pair them with local specialties such as focaccia, olives, and cheeses for a truly authentic experience.
