La Nostra Storia
Duemila anni di vite siciliana
Dalle radici romane del Mamertino alle bottiglie di oggi, una linea ininterrotta di cura per la terra.
La Tenuta Gatti affonda le radici nel cuore della Sicilia nord-orientale, dove la civiltà romana coltivava già le viti del celebre Mamertino. Un vino lodato da Giulio Cesare, cantato da Plinio il Vecchio, che oggi rivive nelle nostre bottiglie con la stessa terra, la stessa luce, lo stesso vento che sale dallo Stretto di Messina.
Nel 2008 la famiglia Gatti ha deciso di valorizzare ciò che questa terra può regalare scegliendo di lavorare in armonia con l'ecosistema anziché contro di esso.
"Il Mamertino è il vino più antico della Sicilia. Noi non lo produciamo: lo custodiamo."— Famiglia Gatti, Tenuta Gatti
Cronologia
I momenti che ci hanno formato
I nostri antenati acquistano 300 ettari sui colli di Librizzi, occupandosi di varie colture tra cui la vigna
La tenuta abbandona completamente i trattamenti chimici di sintesi e ottiene la certificazione biologica. Una scelta pionieristica in Sicilia, guidata da rispetto per la biodiversità dell'ecosistema.
Il Consorzio del Mamertino intuisce che questo territorio era capace di produrre dei grandi vini, e decide di creare la DOC in questo terroir con oltre duemila anni di storia vinicola.
Dopo una vita passata in Argentina, Nicolas, decide di tornare alle sue origini, e prendere sul serio il tesoro che queste terre sono in grado di regalarci.
Oggi la Tenuta è condotta dalla sesta generazione della famiglia Gatti.

Cvrpanè
Nero d'avolaA real gem of sicilian winemaking Cvrpane is born from the happy marriage between two prestigious and autochthonous grapes, the Nero d’Avola and the Nocera. A wine which has millennial roots: the Mamertinum, loved by “Giulius Cesar”, cited by the geographer “Strabone” and celebrated by “Plinio il Vecchio” to be among the most prestigious wines. The denomination is calls us back to the siracusan tyrant Agàtocle, that lived in Messina’s province from 289 B.C. : the “Mamertini” who spread near Milazzo the cultivation of grapes and the production of wine Today this DOC, recognized in 2004, can be produced in only 34 towns which are in Messina’s province. These are situated in a very narrow region between the “Nebrodi” and “Peloritani” The Cvrpanè interprets this DOC with elegance and dearly narrated its own territorial identity.

A fine Sicilian wine that looks beyond the Strait, made with international grapes but which carries within itself the imprint of the territory and the personal style of the producer. The flagship of Nicolas Gatti Russo takes its name from his second son, with a strong, gritty and resilient character that defines a charming personality. Produced with bunches of cabernet sauvignon and merlot wisely bred, according to the dictates of organic farming, in the vineyards of the Cuprani district, in Librizzi (ME), Franco represents the magical result of a tradition that is defined all over the world as "cut bordolese ”, the blend par excellence. In this appreciated and award-winning wine lies the quintessence of Nicolas Gatti Russo's ability and vocation for the production of high quality wines. Frank wines, in fact, which are born from the careful, tiring, daily work in the vineyards. A peasant work, as a team, headed by the owner of the company, a winemaker among the winemakers. Franco should be drunk while slowing down. One sip at a time, one emotion at a time.
