Feudi del Pisciotto is an ensemble of ancient houses. It is located six kilometers from the sea in the province of Caltanissetta. The medieval term “feudo” can be translated as “Lehenshof.” The Baglio manor house is slightly elevated in the center. The surrounding houses were inhabited by farmers and craftsmen, the harvests were stored in the barns, the wines matured in the cellars. Today, the old structures fulfill new functions: Where grapes were processed into wine, an impressive wine museum is set up and the former residential buildings now serve as chic guest rooms and as trattoria. Paolo Panerai, who did pioneering work with his Castellare winery in the Chianti Classico, was able to acquire the manor house. He had the building restored and a modern winery built. In 2002, he began to cultivate the first vineyards, now producing 45 hectares, half of which are Nero d'Avola, the other half international varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Sémillon and Gewürztraminer.
