Valle dell’Acate is a historic wine estate in the Vittoria area, in the heart of eastern Sicily, run by the Jacono family, who have been active in viticulture for six generations. The winery stands out for its distinctive production philosophy, rooted in the interpretation of soils: a mosaic of diverse terroirs that gave rise to the identity-driven project “7 Soils, 7 Wines.”

Each wine is a faithful expression of a single soil, conveyed with precision, respect, and deep knowledge. All vineyards and wines have been certified organic for many years, in keeping with the family’s long-standing philosophy of living in harmony with nature.

The hallmark of Valle dell’Acate’s style is modern Sicilian elegance: light, harmonious, fresh wines with a versatile, highly drinkable profile, aligned with contemporary tastes yet firmly grounded in the agricultural tradition of the Vittoria territory. The estate is widely recognized as one of the most refined interpreters of Frappato and Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG, emblematic wines of identity and finesse.

At the helm of the project is Gaetana Jacono, the contemporary custodian of the family’s history and an authoritative voice who blends wine culture, a modern vision, and profound respect for the land. Her leadership ensures authenticity, continuity, and a coherent expression of the brand’s core values: tradition, research, elegance, and sustainability.

Today, Valle dell’Acate is a benchmark for those seeking Sicilian wines that do not shout, but whisper—wines of balance, place, and nuance. A different way of telling the story of Sicily, through lightness, finesse, and the truth of its soils.
