Cultivating and vinifying ancient Sicilian grape varietals with vineyards in the Madonie Mountains in Sicily.
BORN IN SICILY – THE COURAGE OF BEING DIFFERENT. THE CATARRATTO AND PERRICONE GRAPES FROM VALLEDOLMO.
The courage of being different was where Caselluccimiano started from to study the territory, understand its secrets and discover the hidden qualities of the two vineyards.
The origins of viticulture in the Valle dell’Olmo estate date back to 1570, with vineyards that extended up to 530 hectares in the mid 1800’s, produced wine that was sold in the surrounding towns. The old vineyards in bushes, about 40 years old, are still present in small plots, generally extending for 1 hectare each, contain fruit and olive trees as well, shaping the natural mosaic of the territory’s beauty. Castelluccimiano was able to connect sustainable agriculture, experience and wine culture with the ability to imagine new stories that express, through the value of mountain viticulture, the authenticity of its territory.
