Villaponte is a farming business founded in the 50's in Chiaramonte, in the Ragusa town district. The company is located at 500 m asl and its 30 hectares of land are planted with 2500 Tonda Iblea trees. The company works an average of 900 quintals of olives from which 160 hl of extra virgin olive oil are produced. The whole production, from the picking to the cold pressing is carried out by valued experts. Today the company produces various bottle sizes of normal extra virgin and flavoured olive oil.

Domini di Castellare di Castellina is a project created by Paolo Panerai and the Baron Domanin from Roshchild-Lafite who started to work together to produce extraordinary wines. The oldest winery in the group is Castellare di Castellina, a beautiful estate in the heart of the Chianti Classico area, which is made up of 80 hectares and has been producing incredible wines for 30 years. Rocca di Frassinello in the Maremma is a 500-hectare estate, designed by the worldwide known architect Renzo Piano. 90 of those hectares are planted with vines and the aim is to combine Castellare's experience on wine-growing and wine-making of Sangiovese and the French knowledge about the international grape varieties. Last estate to join the Domini di Castellare di Castellina is Feudi del Pisciotto in Sicily. It is a 33-hectare estate planted since 2002 at an elevation of 250 asl and 6 km far from the sea. Planted grapes are Nero d'Avola and other international varieties, both red and white ones.
