Tenute Navarra shares the daily activities dedicated to cultivating the fruits of the land and the extraordinary territory where they are grown.
The middle lands between the sea and the hills, a unique location in the heart of the Mediterranean that expresses the perfect balance between land and sea on Sicily’s southern coast.
The month of May is the finest moment for Sicilian nature. The landscapes and crops are a verdant spectacle, as unique plants, flowers, and scents begin to bloom.
The hands of our expert winemakers are at work for “green pruning.” This practice allows for the regulation of the vine canopy’s development and balances the ratio between leaf surface area and production.
Through green pruning, the shoots best suited for production are selected while undesirable ones are removed, creating an ideal environment for the grapes to ripen by regulating their number, arrangement, and exposure.
Tenute Navarra embodies the essence of the territory, recounting its history, culture, and traditions in perfect harmony.
Riesi, one of our neighboring municipalities. A center that has made agriculture its strength and carries the charm of the mines known as “solfare.”
