The tour was announced and booked as English speaking! On the spot, however, we found that there was only one English PowerPoint presentation, which was clicked through very quickly and frantically. We couldn't read sensibly. The hostess herself apologized for her English, but was not really bothered to give us more details. A crucial disadvantage on our part was that our round was attended by two Italians with whom she had a long and very detailed conversation. In the end, we could not obtain any reasonable information about the winery and the wines. The tour of the winery itself was uninteresting, many steel containers and a few wooden barrels, but otherwise not a nice building. Worst during the two and a half hours, however, was as the hostess only poured one bottle per round for the total of nine people. Meanwhile, guests arrived, who were then intensively served and informed, so that we sometimes had to wait half an hour for the next wine or meal. Now for the food, I also have to criticize that unfortunately, because for example the ham and the sausage were already old or sour or the pasta was cold and perfectly cooked. Even though food & drink is basically expensive in the region, we have to say that the 50 € per person is anything but reasonable. For Italians themselves this may be great, for everyone else we definitely say: “Keep your hands off it!”

Organic wine cellar Excellent. I have known this winery for about 6 years and finally from Asti I was able to participate in a tasting with the very prepared Sommelier Arianna who explained and educated us about terroir, history and quality of wine.
I periodically buy different types of wine from TRamaddini and find their wines excellent. Passito had also won the Duja d’Or competition in Asti and since then I have not stopped buying and tasting it. I find perfect its sugar content that for the information of the lady below I state that on average for wines of this type can range from 180 to 250 grams liter, and I consider commendable the ability to produce it without the slightest presence of acetic acid which is the most tremendous pitfall in the evolution of a passito 🔝. I find interesting the inclusion of bubbles because the current taste and the market require a lot. Although produced exclusively with Martinotti method given the absence of rooms where the bottles can mature on the yeasts I must say that the three qualities ‘especially Rose’ are very interesting. I highly recommend the tasting and the niche products produced and consider them a gem.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

I would say that more than a visit to the cellar with an explanation of the winemaking process and wines produced, it was an aperitif/lunch with their accompanying wines.
The staff did not appear to be trained as they were unable to answer even the most banal questions (such as the sugar residue in one of their passito wines).
The descriptions of the wines were lacking.
As for the wines offered for tasting, I would like to point out the excellent value for money of their basic nero d'avola, Note Nere. Instead, I found their Charmat method sparkling wine to have good acidity but little minerality and an elegant perlage.

Nice clean presentable apartment in central area of Trapani
Enjoyed our stay visiting the wonderful old town.
Greeted at apartments by owner.
Problem with wardrobe reported an action taken by owner swiftly.
Just as a future reference it would have been nice to have some local information provided, like best places to eat and visit. Also owner’s son assisted with our problem and I found it difficult to communicate with him, he also underestimated my ability to understand his mother language and I was quite offended by what he said, however on the whole it was a positive experience.
It would have been good to know we could use the roof space, we found this by chance on our last day.
