In 1989 the oenologist Nino Di Marco, in love with the Netino and Pachinese territory and the great qualitative peculiarities of its vines: Nero d'Avola and Moscato di Noto, decided to start a path for the creation of a winery able to combine the rich history of the territory with the technical modernity in the production of wines.

Today the company "Terre di Noto" covers about 35 hectares of vineyards with specialized cellar, mainly cultivates Nero d'Avola and Moscato, but also the main international varieties.

The company is included in the production regulations of the D.O.P. Noto, Eloro and Sicilia, which are bottled, in addition to wines to I.G.P. Terre Siciliane.

Since 2015, the company has been part of the SOStain project. SOStain is a voluntary and proactive corporate sustainability program, which is implemented through a "sustainability process" capable of leading to gradual and continuous improvements over time in the level of sustainability.
