“Wine is a compound of fluid and light”
Galileo Galilei

AN ANCIENT FEUDAL DOMAIN NESTLED IN A LUXURIANT AND PEACEFUL OASIS IN SICILY.

In the heart of Sicily, where the golden light weaves a tapestry-like mosaic under a clear sky, lies a beautiful oasis that is the cradle of great indigenous Sicilian grapes and the ‘chosen land’ of Nero d’Avola. 

Principi di Butera lies in the province of Caltanissetta: it covers an area of 320 hectares  that includes over 170 vineyards 35 of olive groves and wheat fields too. 

The varietals and the organic properties of the land, combined with a distinctive microclimate that benefits from sea breezes, make these ancient lands, which once belonged to the Princes of Butera, an ideal site for sustainable viticulture and a nature reserve with unique biodiversity. 

This area, with its colourful citrus fruits and scents of the Mediterranean scrubland, yields elegant, finely-fragranced wines with great intensity and freshness.

The estate is located in one of the Island’s most mineral-rich areas, close to the Mediterranean coast and between the Temples Valley, in Agrigento, and Piazza Armerina with the Roman Villa, two of the most important sicilian Unesco World Heritage Site . 

The Zonin family, owners of the Principi di Butera since 1997, have always aimed to celebrate this unique, sun soaked and perfume rich land by producing world class wines which express the full force and soul of Sicily. 

A fortified manorhouse owned by the most prominent families of the island with its breathtaking “Baglio” immersed in an unbridled oasis of intensity, contrasts, beauty and peacefulness are the ideal place for an authentic sicilian wine experience.

We value hospitality very highly so we have provided a variety of solutions for winelovers: tours of the vineyards and of the winery, wine tastings, lunches, cooking class, blending games and other special experiences tailor made for our guests.

Serò is the result of lengthy research and enhancement of a native Sicilian varietal, Insolia, which in Butera finds the ideal habitat in which to ennoble and enrich itself with new fragrances. As its name suggests, it is a true act of love (Serò, from the ancient Greek σου ἐρῶ - ‘I love you’) towards a variety, which rewards commitment, constancy and determination, yielding a white with gre- at finesse that is capable of evolving over time.

Deliella is the premier cru produced by Principi di Butera, bearing the name of the district in which the estate is located. This 100%, single-vineyard Nero d’Avola has an aristocratic profile, great ageing potential and an unconventional ability to combine intensity and balance with elegance and sobriety. With its highly distinctive style, Deliella expresses the character of the district of Butera, one of the areas best suited to the cultivation of Sicily’s most noble autochthonous grape.

Sparkling

The first Nero d’Avola Classic Method - Pas Dosé, embodying the aristocratic soul and the sicilian vocation for excellence. 
Suspended between reality and mirage, this captivating area inspires a blanc de noirs that reveals a fresh and unprecedented facet of Nero d’Avola and Sicily.
Principi di Butera dedicates a 3-hectare vineyard opposite the ancient manor to the creation of this blanc de noirs with extraordinary finesse, a fine perlage and a creamy palate.

The Sicilian word for ‘caress’ invokes the gentle character of this Insolia, produced
from the hillside vineyards of Butera. Carizza is a rich and harmonious white
wine with a fresh and delicate nature and aromas of broom flowers, mimosa,
cantaloupe and exotic fruit.

From the precious mineral-rich lands of Butera, this Grillo has all the intensity
and brilliance of a rare diamond. Diamanti is a complex and harmonious
white with fresh notes of citrus and passion fruit, woven through with a slight
mentholated vein.

Prince of a land of mirages and wonders, Amìra (from the Arab amîr, prince)
represents the purest essence of Nero d’Avola from Butera. The mineralrich
parched and cracked terrain gives rise to a gentle and refined red wine,
stemming from a deep admiration for this great Sicilian grape varietal.

Sweet

A new interpretation of a wine that is the symbol of a great wine making tradition. This little Sicilian gem is made with a selection of bunches of Yellow Muscat grapes, left to partially dry in the vineyard. As bright as sunlight, as sweet as the fruits of the earth, as fragrant as the flowers of our Sicily. 

Cabernet Sauvignon Blend

A Bordeaux blend in a distinctively Sicilian style, it is a genuine expression of
the terroir of Butera and reflects the European character of the Sicilian nobility.
As its Greek name suggests, it is a wine for get-togethers, celebrations and
sharing. This red wine successfully combines the freshness of Cabernet Sauvignon, the fruitiness of Merlot and the savoury notes of Petit Verdot to create
an authentic harmony with a Mediterranean flavour.

Butirah, the ancient Arabic name for Butera, evokes the Levantine origins of
Syrah and reveals the exotic soul of a Sicily that is halfway between East and
West. An intense and enveloping red, it has aromas of morello cherries and
sweet fruits and spices.
