“Wine accompanies man in history.
Wine is culture and culture does not stop: it is handed down.
It takes from the past and carries into the future”.

A FAMILY AND ITS WINES, FOR SIX GENERATIONS

Valle dell’Acate winery has driven forward its ancient tradition from the XIX century. For six generations the Jaconos have handed it down and led it into the future. Extending on seventy hectares, Valle dell’Acate vineyards are located in the enchanting rural districts of Biddini Soprano e Biddini Sottano, in Ragusa province. They are organic certified and, under the guidance of Gaetana Jacono, they have specialized in fine native wines, the most representative of these areas.

OUR WINES

Our wines are an expression of the radiance and elegance of native flavors, such as Frappato di Sicilia, applauded by the international oenological critics, and Cerasuolo di Vittoria BDN. Valle dell’Acate entire production is organic.

CRU

IRI DA IRI Cerasuolo di Vittoria, FRAPPATO VIGNA BIDDINE SOTTANA – Vino di Contrada and TANÉ – Nero d’Avola are the winery products that stand for excellence.

IRI DA IRI, the Cerasuolo di Vittoria Cru is the only D.O.C.G (the label that guarantees the quality and origin of a wine) in Sicily. It is a single varietal expression, cultivated in Biddine Soprana vineyard, 200 mt above the sea level.

TANÉ – Nero d’Avola, (Tané stands for “Gaetana” in Sicilian dialect), is produced with grapes that grow in a small vineyard. The grapes yearly harvest is no more than 800 grams per plant, picked at the time fruits have reached the correct maturation to ensure the highest quality guaranteed by Valle dell’Acate.

Il FRAPPATO VIGNA BIDDINE SOTTANA – Vino di Contrada Wine is produced from a small vineyard of 1.88 hectares of black earth and large white pebbles particularly rich in silt and nutritional properties, which preserves the Frappato clone planted by Giuseppe Jacono at the end of the 19th century, replanted as espalier in 2020.

BELLIFOLLI

For us wine is the center of a universe of condivision, experiences, fun and joy. BELLIFOLLI is the new line of fresh and brilliant wines, which synthesizes the beauty, the madness, the blinding light and the storminess of the most authentic Sicilian spirit, made iconic by the masks of the Baroque balconies that stand out on the labels of this line.

A tribute to the Iblean architecture through four wines: INSOLIA, BIANCO, NERO D’AVOLA, ROSSO SYRAH, characterized by a surprising brilliance and aroma, which bring the excellence of Sicilian wine culture into a dimension international, contemporary and convivial.

SUSTAINABLE QUALITY, IN HARMONY WITH NATURE

Today Valle dell’Acate production is entirely organic, certified from 2018, but it has always been concerned with environment safeguard. In 2020 the company joined the VIVA project (for sustainable viticulture) endorsed by the Ministry for Environment and Land and Sea Tutelage. Valle dell’Acate became the first Energy Community of Vigneto Italia that involved the use of a platform to manage a single plant that supplies 200 kw and links adjacent companies.
