List of products by brand Cantina Horus

The agricultural company and the Horus winery are the synthesis of an entrepreneurial experience that began in 1974

In the Hyblaean territory between Acate and Vittoria, characterized by a warm and Mediterranean climate, mitigated by the sea breeze, there are one hundred hectares of land, of which thirty are planted with vines and the remaining with almond and olive groves.

The right balance between temperature, altitude and distance from the sea contribute to the uniqueness of this environmental context which has encouraged us to enhance and enhance the qualities of native and traditional varieties: Nero D'Avola, Frappato, Grillo, Insolia and Moscato.

The ethics of production, respect for the environment and the landscape, through sustainable and lasting viticulture, characterize the identity of the Horus winery.

The business is located in the territories of Acate and Vittoria, where there is a strong vocation for wine production. It was born in 1974 by the Giudice family.

The right balance between temperature, sun, altitude and distance from the sea are useful and exceptionally favorable factors for the cultivation of vines and the production of wine.

Among other things, this company has recently decided to commit itself more and more to the enhancement of its territory. Carrying on the idea that the quality of the wine starts from the vineyard with the care and attention in the cultivation.

Cantina Horus is a young and dynamic reality that has chosen to enhance the native and oldest varieties of the territory using an organic cultivation method.

Certified organic wines come from vineyards whose lands are cultivated according to the organic farming system: a model of sustainable development based on the principles of safeguarding and enhancing resources, respecting the balance of the environment and the health of the consumer.

the vinification is planned right from the vineyard, eliminating the use of chemical substances and systemic pesticides which tend to stimulate the quantitative production of the plant to the detriment of the qualitative one and to impoverish the precious soil - plant - climate relationship which constitutes the necessary balance for the development of a strong vine, which produces healthy, balanced, rich grapes and which make the wines identifiable and unique.

For the fertilization of the land organic fertilizers are used and for the defense of the crops it acts preventively by reinforcing the plants or using living organisms antagonists of the parasites. An ancient technique that harks back to peasant tradition involves the use of rose gardens at the head of the rows. Roses are used to monitor the health of vines, as they are the first to show symptoms of any diseases that may be harmful to the plant.

We have decided to produce organic wines for a sentimental vision of wine that binds us to our peasant culture in full respect of the life cycle of the vineyard.
