Azienda Biologica PianoGrillo

The house is from centuries on the hill of Pianogrillo, stretched between cypresses and Saracen olive trees, it overlooks the Acate flat, in the ancient county of Modica and Chiaramonte. The central building was, in the Middle Ages, a sighting tower, afterwards turned, in the eighteenth century, in a masters dwelling in Ragusa style, with a noble chapel and underground wine cellars with vaulted roofs. It rises in panoramic position near the archaeological zone of Akrille, ancient and mysterious Greek settlement, lost in time. Still today in Pianogrillo there are some ancient oil millstones made of lavic stone dated back to the third century A.D. and ancient early Christian necropolis. It was an ancient feud of the Pianogrillo barons, nowadays transformed in a modern farm still managed by their descendants. Here the origanum and the wild asparagus grow between the olive trees. In the dry-stone walls flourish the enormous plants of caper. Lemons, oranges, almond trees and pricky pears complete the landscape with a lot of cypresses and enormous carob trees. A single fifty hectares field on the slopes of the Ibleo upland, nine thousands olive trees in the silent flow of the winds that go down to the blue African sea near the Greek city of Kamarina.
