Maenza Vini is a family wine company, located in Camporeale, a small village nestled in the hills of Alto Belìce, in the province of
Palermo.

The story of Maenza Vini began in 1996 when Francesco
and Francesca Maenza, wine-growers and long-time
grape-growers, decided to transform the family business
into a winery; the dream became reality when, in 2019,
they started producing wine from the grapes they had
always grown and harvested, this time, not for others but
for themselves.
Dedication to nature, sacrifice for work and love for wine
were the virtuous elements they used to realise their
dream of making wine from their own grapes, directly
involving their three sons, Calogero, Giacomo and
Beatrice.
The Maenza family is an ambassador of healthy and
environmentally friendly viticulture, far from interventionist
and invasive practices. With this conscious approach, the
family is daily committed to preserving soil biodiversity,
allowing organisms and microorganisms to make the soil
more fertile, gently accompanying the vine at every stage
of its development.

This area has always been devoted to agriculture and
wine-growing and the landscape is characterised by
rich expanses of vineyards. It is thanks to the
interaction between various factors such as soil,
exposure and microclimate that Maenza wines are
distinguished by their high quality, reflecting the
characteristics of the land.

The vineyards, planted since 1996, extend over about
twelve hectares, at an altitude of between 400 and
600 metres above sea level. In this selected,
predominantly clayey soils grow indigenous varieties,
such as Grillo and Catarratto, and international
varieties, such as Syrah, that has found its own
typicality, capable of adapting to the soil and climatic
conditions of this territory.
The soils are rich in clay, favorable to the full
expression of the grape varieties cultivated. The
vineyards are cultivated using organic farming
methods, with complete respect for the soil and the
natural characteristics of the plants. The results of this
combination are healthy vineyards that grow following
the natural rhythm of the seasons, perfectly integrated
into their environment.
