The Valle dell’Acate winery was founded by Giuseppe Jacono at the end of the 19th century and is today run by the latest generation of the Jacono family. Since the start, the familial vocation has been to establish a name for the family’s wines on an international level.
Valle dell’Acate winery has continued this tradition, specializing in the cultivation of the most prized and productive autochthonous vines, creating superior wines. The territory around Acate has a variety of landscapes. The countryside, at once sweet and arid, includes fertile flatlands that slope gently down towards the low, uniform coastline.
The Cerasuolo di Vittoria is a blend of two different types of grapes, harvested and fermented separately both coming from the Valle dell'Acate vineyards located in Acata near Ragusa in Southeastern Sicily. The grapes were harvested by hand, sorted and destalked followed by fermentation on the skins. The wine was matured for 12 months in oak barrels followed by at least 9 months in the bottles before release.
Colour: Intense cherry red.
Longevity 5-10 years
