Wine and Terre Sicane have always been an inseparable pair. Orderly geometries of rows characterize the landscape of the hills where today the largest concentration of vineyards in Europe extends: a countryside sculpted by the work of winemakers since ancient times, when the Greeks established the culture of vines and wine learned in the Eastern Mediterranean, 2,500 years ago. Our route, named after the Carthaginian scholar Mago who was the first to systematize the agronomic knowledge of the ancient world, takes account of this rich historical-cultural complexity and offers the keys to understanding a long and fascinating history, which is the story of civilization. From the educational vineyard of Selinunte, where ancient varieties of vines belonging to the Greek, Punic, Roman and Byzantine cultures live, to the extraordinary Hellenistic palmento recently discovered in the Bosco della Risinata, and to the Iter Vitis vineyard in the old center of Montevago, from the Enoteca of Menfi where it is possible to taste excellent wines and discover the characteristics of the microclimate and soils that generate them, to the enchanting Garden of Palazzo Panitteri and the Roman Villa of Montevago, the visit is an opportunity to enjoy the archaeological, landscape and wine-growing heritage of the Terre Sicane, but above all to discover the deep roots of the Mediterranean culture that resides in these places.
