Gianfranco Zito
Head Enologist
Gianfranco Zito is Di Giovanna's head enologist since the 2013 vintage. He graduated from the Agricultural Technical Institute of Sciacca and holds a degree in viticulture and enology from the University of Palermo, with a specialization in science technologies and agronomy from the University of Rome. Born and raised in the small town of Montevago, Gianfranco's passion for Sicilian wine developed at an early age when his father bought the first plot of land, planted with a vineyard. His work as a viticulturalist and winemaker is focused on safeguarding the environment and nature.

Brothers Gunther & Klaus Di Giovanna actively manage the organic viticulture of the 5 estate vineyards and the organic winemaking process. As 5th generation viticulturalists, they were raised in the family vineyards, beginning the grape harvest at the early age of 8 years. In the 1980's when their parents reconsolidated the family property and replanted the vineyards, they began their journey towards quality viticulture and then winemaking.
