| Curatolo's winery is located in Marsala, the most Westerly point of Sicily, where warm winds from the African continent brush the gentle hills. The exceptional carachteristics of the soil are ideal for the production of high quality red and white grapevarieties. Vines have been cultivated in the area as long as people remember.
The winery is housed in a building that dates back to the year 900. The architecture is typical for its location and age. Thick walls made with big blocks of poreous chalky stone ("tufo") and high sloping roofs of tiles on a wood structure, provide an ideal, natural environment for the vinification, conservation and aging of wine. This vintage building houses the most modern, state-of-the-art equipment which is constanly updated with new emerging technologies. |
