The Siciliani family can trace their history back to soldiers, lawmakers and, indeed, a poet in the 15th century. Domenico di Paolo founded a monastery in 1578 and planted olive groves and vineyards around the main building. In 1777 after the suppression of monasteries by King Ferdinand IV, Don Benedetto Siciliani bought the property at auction, and Francesco Siciliani, his direct descendant, now runs the estate on the original site, rich in viticultural history. Francesco is a trained lawyer, who has dedicated his efforts to experimenting with the indigenous Gaglioppo grape with award winning results.
