Wines from Sicily
Our Winery
In the Belice valley, the vineyards lie upon the hills around Lake Arancio, where a lush vegetation surrounds the village rich of myths and local legends. The origins of the name Zabù are rooted in history by its founder, the Arab emir Al Zabuth Lo Splendido who, in Sambuca, had given great impulse to the revival of viticulture. This generous land is home to ancient vineyards heirs of a thousand-year tradition, which today the talent of our winemakers is able to transform into wines of great personality and expression of a territory of great vocation.
