Winemaker Bruno Fina and his children Marco,<br />
Sergio and Federica, all play a part in managing the company<br />
ITALY<br />
– ORGANIC WINES –<br />
CANTINE FINA<br />
Cantine Fina, located in Marsala, is a family business run by<br />
Bruno Fina – who was the right-hand man of the renowned<br />
oenologist and father of Sassicaia, Giacomo Tachis – and his<br />
children Marco, Sergio and Federica. Fina uses his extensive<br />
knowledge of Sicily to select the best grapes from across the<br />
island with an ever-increasing focus on sustainability, so much<br />
so that today over 65% of the grapes come from organic vines.<br />
In addition to this, the company is committed to sustainability,<br />
with 70% of its energy coming from renewable sources. In 2021,<br />
the Fina family also decided to use local suppliers for bottles and<br />
labels, to minimise the environmental impact of transportation<br />
and support the local economy.<br />
For Cantine Fina, the choice of organic was initially driven by<br />
the obvious commercial benefits, but over time it has become a<br />
matter of pride to respect the land which, fortunately, lends itself<br />
well to this type of sustainable approach.<br />
In addition to Italy, the countries that have been most receptive to<br />
the winery’s ‘green’ approach are Japan and the United States, with<br />
a significant volume of the 650,000 bottles produced exported<br />
there, albeit with slightly different certification procedures.<br />
