Riofavara is a family-run business located in the Val di Noto. The winery dates back to 1920 and only became a winemaker in 1994.

Small-sized company, 16 hectares in total distributed across 6 plots in the most suitable districts of the area. The company produces wines from natural-organic agriculture, «wines that bear the name of the territory because they are territory».

The fertilizations are done using manure from Modica with the addition of winemaking by-products, the only Sicilian reality to start this practice.

In the cellar the grapes are transformed using modern winemaking techniques, soft pressing, the white musts are
statically clarified.

The first company to have worked on the self-selection of native Nero d’Avola yeasts. Fermentation temperature controls, maceration with the skins for reds, often until complete alcoholic fermentation.

The important reds are refined in oak barrels without filtration and tartaric stabilization, for the whites only filtration is carried out.
