Stefano recognized early on that the island was capable of world-class, characterful wines, and that its naturally dry, breezy climate made it one of Europe's premier locations for organic, low-intervention viticulture.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"selected\"\u003eThe estate originally belonged to a formidable local matriarch, Giovanna Cortese. After realising none of her heirs would take over the reins, she entered discussions to sell—though, in true Sicilian fashion, she proved a tough negotiator, taking six years of patient dialogue before agreeing to pass the estate to the Girellis in 2016. Today, Cortese focuses entirely on indigenous grapes, ancient techniques, and organic stewardship. While the rest of the 'Nostru' range (meaning \"ours\" in Sicilian dialect) features traditional Majolica ceramic artwork, 'Orange-Utan' takes a cheekier turn with its lovable primate label, proving that serious natural winemaking doesn't need to take itself too seriously.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan class=\"selected\"\u003eVineyard \u0026amp; Winery\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"selected\"\u003eViticulture \u0026amp; Terroir:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"selected\"\u003eThe fruit is sourced from certified organic estate parcels nestled in the south-east of Sicily.
