About Winery and Wines
The history of our family is all about ties. Ties to the previous generations that have bravely walked on the path paved by the founder’s vision; ties to our territory with which we proudly share history and old traditions and finally, ties with all the women and men that for nearly 150 years have contributed with their work and dedication to make all this possible. In particular, our story begins in 1875 when Vito Curatolo Arini decided to build a winery in the middle of his vineyards in Marsala. From the very beginning, the quality of the product, the development towards foreign markets, and the extreme attention to packaging were his focus. Thanks to the collaboration of commercial experts, the founder managed to exploit the potential of his vineyards and started the production of Marsala. In the XIX century, the winery expanded internationally and became one of the first exporting companies in Marsala shipping wines to Europe and the Americas. The numerous goals achieved show our good entrepreneurial skills and the excellent quality of products. In 1896, after Vito's death, the winery was carried on by his successors, who have proudly managed to spread the name of the company and its quality products. Today, our winery continues to produce Marsala following ancient traditions and table wine with indigenous grapes exploiting all the unique characters and flavours of Sicilian terroirs. The success achieved over the years still makes the Curatolo Arini company one of the first wine exporters of the country.
Our grapes are grown in Sicily and we rely on those terroirs that express the best of each specific variety. We produce red and white still wines exploiting all the unique characters and flavours of the following Sicilian grapes: Nero d'Avola, Syrah, Grillo, Inzolia, Catarratto, Zibibbo e Nerello Mascalese. Furthermore, we produce Marsala taking advantage of the best grapes of the terroir.
