Azienda Vaccaro Winery
Azienda Vaccaro is located in Sicily rightin the heart of the toe of the Italian boot. The foundation for the winery was laid back in the 1970s when Giacomo Vaccaro and his wife Catherina bought a small country house just outside the small village of Salaparuta. A few years earlier, in 1968, the area had experienced a massive earthquake that leveled large parts of the existing farms. And as seen so many times before, beautiful things sprout from the rubble left behind by the events of the past. Vaccaro is just such a sprout. In 1999, the sprout blossomed and the Vaccaro winery was born as an established winery.Giacomo and Catherina Vaccaro
The winery is a family business owned by Giacomo and Catherina Vaccaro. Their children Catia and Carmelo participate in the work at the winery. Catia has a degree in economics and an interest in art and takes care of the finances, while Carmelo studied oenology (the art of wine production) and is involved in the entire process of making Vaccaro wines. The family lives their life in harmony with the surrounding nature, producing some of the most beautiful wines the Salaparuta area has to offer.The vineyards
The Vaccaro family runs 45 hectares of vineyards idyllically situated in the gentle hills of the Belice Valley. Here they grow native grape varieties such as Catarratto, Grecanico, Inzolia, Grillo and Nero d'Avola. They also grow some of the most recognized international grape varieties such as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. The grapes ripen to perfection in the warm southern Italian climate and the finesse of the grapes is developed by the cool breezes that arise from the sea during the evening hours. The perfect conditions for grapes to produce elegant wines with great structure and richness accompanied by complex flavor palettes and fresh expressions.Vaccaro cultivates vineyards in 3 areas around Salaparuta:
1.
3 hectares in Contrada Santa Fara located at 290 meters above sea level. It primarily grows Pinot Grigio as the soil, altitude and microclimate provide perfect conditions for the development of aromatic grapes.
2. 10 hectares in Contrada Annuziata at 400 meters above sea level. Pinot Grigio, Catarratto, Nero d'Avola and Merlot are grown here, as the alternation between the hot days and the cool breezes that occur in the evening and night, combined with the microclimate and medium texture of the soil, produces balanced grapes with great aroma and complexity in their expression. 3. 30 hectares of Contrada Comune located 160 meters above sea level. Here the family planted the first of the current Catarratto vines back in 1985. The soil is filled with pebbles that are rounded by the river. These stones keep the roots fresh as they help retain moisture in the soil. In addition to Catarratto, Zibibbo, Pinot Grigio, Nerello Mescalese and Nero d'Avola are grown.
