A prestigious real estate complex, historically used as a winery, stands in a
strategic location in Marsala, facing two public streets: Via Mazara and Via
Tunisi. The property extends over a total plot area of approximately 11,044
square meters of land, including a characteristic baglio (open courtyard)
with a total covered area of approximately 1.090 square meters, divided
between warehouses/storage areas and residential units.
The structure preserves the charm of traditional Sicilian architecture,
featuring elements such as vaulted ceilings, wooden beams, and terracotta
details. The outdoor space is characterized by the presence of a pine
forest. Within this green area, there is also a water collection tank (known
as a "gebbia") with a well and a small technical room. The property, which
is in need of complete renovation, offers spacious and versatile spaces
and is an ideal solution for investors wishing to restore a historic building
with authentic charm.
There is an unbreakable bond between Marsala and the world's
winemaking excellence. It was here, between the 18th and 19th centuries,
that pioneers like the Inghams, Whitakers, and the legendary Florio
dynasty turned this land into the epicenter of international trade, creating
the famous Marsala wine: Italy's first DOC, a fortified nectar that graced the
royal courts of Europe.
Today, just steps away from icons of tradition such as Cantine Florio and
Donnafugata, stands this property at Via Mazara 21. It is not merely a
former factory, but a witness to that glorious industrial era. The vast
covered areas and the extensive surrounding land tell a story of
industriousness and passion. It is a place that preserves the soul of the
island's industrial archaeology, a structure waiting to be rediscovered and
enhanced, respecting the profound bond with a land that has turned its
legendary wine into its most precious gold.
