Defining Gorghi Tondi is like defining a lifestyle – one that is distinctive, characterful, visionary, and tangible, all accompanied by that Sicilian sun that illuminates the heart of this reality.
Its roots are deeply embedded in the history of what is today Gorghi Tondi but, for those who live it or are fortunate enough to visit, is a small paradise on this planet. It is a brand guided by vision, elegance, and that feminine touch which always makes a difference in every field; a symbolic winery for this corner of Sicily, preserving its nature and balance. The wines of Gorghi Tondi are a fusion of light and sea, of territory and feeling.
The wine tasted today is a fruit of past centuries, when Zibibbo arrived from the sea, bestowing its energy upon the local populations much like the sea itself, intertwining with the cultures that merged there.
A princely vine, as its name suggests, Rajah, a Zibibbo Sicilia DOC from organic agriculture, features a beautiful seashell on its label, symbolizing the composition of these calcareous soils, rich in marine minerals, located in the southwestern area of the island.
A sun-yellow hue opens up in the glass, from which aromatic scents immediately emerge, accompanied by white flowers and distinct notes of Mediterranean scrub. The Rajah is an ample wine on the palate as well, where its freshness emerges in a balanced minerality, in harmony with the nose.
Pairings here must respect the energy and elegance of this grape variety—roasted white meats, deep-sea fish, or grilled crustaceans, to enhance its prestige and its history.
Company Profile
Gorghi Tondi estate would never have come to life without the enduring love for nature of Dora, the great-grandmother of Annamaria and Clara Sala. Representing the fourth female generation in a family that has been dedicated to quality wine production for over a century, Annamaria and Clara carry forward a commitment that blends tradition with respect for the environment. The journey of Gorghi Tondi as a winery began in 2000, when Michele Sala, their father, decided—after more than forty years in the wine industry—to establish his own venture together with his wife Doretta and their two daughters. The deep connection with the land, especially with the nearby High, Middle, and Low whirlpools (the “Gorghi”), also inspired the winery’s name. This oasis, protected by the WWF since 1998, is a natural sanctuary for diverse wildlife and rare flora, a place where nature thrives alongside the vineyards. Here, the family’s approach to viticulture blends seamlessly with the surrounding environment.
