Recent management is linked to the Scudieri family, which—through the Tenute Scudieri/Isula project—has relaunched the estate, enhancing vineyards across the island. The winery follows the practice of alberello pantesco and the traditional production of Passito, while also working with international grape varieties on the heights of Montagna Grande.
