NESCI SINCE 1808
A long-fermented family history
The Nesci family boasts ancient origins. Originally from Messina, they moved to Palizzi and Reggio in the 1600s, enriching their cultural and territorial assets. Love and passion for the soil cultivated for centuries, following a family tradition dating back over five generations. After the expansion and renovation of the old winery, the company built a technologically advanced facility, commissioned in 2015. This significant upgrade turned Nesci into a cutting-edge company, operating on the market with a modern and flexible approach and a range of premium labels.
Our area’s culture and winemaking traditions have molded our approach, which is essentially conservate, but includes research, innovation, and experimentation in the agronomic and oenological fields. This evolution allows us to broaden our oenological horizons, bringing out certain chemical-physical aspects of our grapes and wines. Therefore, our company has decided to champion all our local native grape varieties: Pecorello, Mantonico, Ansonica, also known as Inzolia, and Moscato bianco – for white grapes. While for the black grape varieties, we use Nocera, and Calabrese (better known as ‘Nero d’Avola’), reinterpreting them in a modern key, using allochthonous grape varieties such as Merlot, Cabernet, and Syrah), albeit in small percentages.
NESCI SINCE 1808
Our winery
Nesci conferred an added value on the production process: strengthening the different stages of the wine production chain. Built by renovating the old “catoio” dating back to 1896, the wine cellar is a state-of-the-art, thermo-conditioned facility, equipped with the latest technology – such as temperature-controlled fermentation tanks – and with an Allier oak barrel cellar for refining and aging. Moreover, its location, overlooking the sea at Palizzi and the guesthouse, is an excellent stimulus for the growing wine tourism, which is one of the company’s main focuses.
