GRANIERI: A dip in time between history and wine A journey into the Sicilian past - During a bike trip with a friend, I had the pleasure of visiting the Granieri Castle, a real jewel immersed in the Sicilian countryside. Right from the start, crossing the always open gate, we felt transported back in time. The atmosphere you breathe is magical, surrounded by an ancient charm that immediately conquers you. Tradition and innovation - Part of the structure has recently been renovated, a sign of constant attention to the present and the future. However, although further restoration work is necessary, the village retains an authenticity and beauty that make it absolutely worth a visit.

The Reserve is open to the public all year round, every day (8.30am - 1.30pm and 2.30pm - 5.30pm)

Once the residence of the counts of Mazarin, the castle preserves a cylindrical tower and remains of walls, witnesses of its ancient grandeur and importance.
