DescriptionTrigona Farms...The quality of tradizion, the taste of luxury!The family Trigona is one of the oldest aristocratic families in Sicily. Present since the seventh century, the Trigona take their name from the castle of Trigonne in Picardy (Sweden). The Emperor Frederick II of Swabia in 1239 they crowned in Palermo, Catania, Siracusa, Canicarao, Piazza Armerina and Floresta between duke, marquis and barons. In our day the brothers Trigona bet on the tradition of farming and wine handed down for centuries, renewing the vineyards destroyed at the end of World War II by the Allies in July 1943, during the landing on the coast of eastern Sicily. The varieties who were in the area at the mouth of the river Simeto, have been replanted and grown with organic farming methods.
