Diodoros
DOC Sicilia
Wine and archaeology contribute to making a territory great, one that is rich in history where the agriculture reveals the meaning and origin of civilization. Diodoros is the resultant of a shared horizon between CVA Canicattì and the Park of the Valley, a project of great symbolic value, a valid example of the environmental preservation and sustainability of sicilian landscape
