- ABOUT THE PRODUCER: The winery was founded in by three friends, Giambattista Cilia, Giusto Occhipinti, and Cirino Strano. In 1980 they received an old family winery from Giambattista Cilia’s father Giuseppe Cilia and the nearby vineyard of bush trained vines and produced their first vintage of 1470 bottles. The initials of their last names form the winery’s name.
