The Tenuta di Budonetto dei Conti Maurigi is to be found in the heart of Sicily, or more precisely in Piazza Armerina, the city that flourished during the Middle Ages under the Norman rule of Count Ruggero. Against this backdrop, Francesco Maurigi had the fortunate insight in 1998 to plant 40 hectares of vineyards, using non-indigenous varieties, on this same land, even though it was traditionally used for other purposes.
