Clara and Anna Maria Sala, own this organic farm in Mazara del Vallo (a city well known for its fishing, and famous for its shrimp). This property was a split-off from the old Cantine Pellegrino and is now all women-owned, (all too rare in Italy). Signora Dora, a great-grandmather of Clara and Annamaria, purchased the land in the early 1900. The winery was called Tenuta Gorghi Tondi after the three rounded lakes, the Gorghi Tondi, which surround the property. The Girghi Tondi are also a WWF protected site and bird sanctuary. The soils are limestone and sand. The Sala sisters are really making some excellent wines.
