Cantine Grasso
Cantine Grasso, founded in 1887, have been handed father to son for five generations following a main line of conduct: quality.
The company is based in Milazzo, in north east of Sicily, on the Tyrrhenian side of the province of Messina, opposite the Aeolian Islands.
The particular conformation of the territory, that changes abruptly from coastal plain to high hills, has imposed a ragher diversified choice of grapes varieties.
The company, relying on the production of vineyards both owned and affiliated, can therefore make a very careful selection of grapes according to their variety, exposure of the vineyars, their training system and their degree of ripeness.
