The winery behind the magazine

Quattrocieli winery

Organic wines from native grapes, in the hills of Alcamo between Palermo and Trapani.

Quattrocieli is a family winery in Alcamo, in western Sicily. We grow native grape varieties and make organic wines in the Alcamo DOC area, the home of Catarratto.

This magazine was born here. We write about the Sicily we see every day, among vineyards, sea and villages; and when someone asks us where to taste the local wine, the answer is simple: come and visit us.

Our story

From the family garage to the winery

For years Leonardo, the father, devotedly tended the family vineyards. At first the grapes were made into wine elsewhere and the wine was bottled in the family garage: the idea was to make the most of their own land, one step at a time.

His son Giuseppe, after university, decided to make it his life’s project. In 2015 Quattrocieli was officially born and the first harvest was made in the new winery; 2017 was Giuseppe’s first harvest entirely his own, and today he makes all the wines.

“Wine is what the grapes manage to express.”

The name

Four vineyards, four skies

“Quattro” (four) are the vineyards, in four different municipalities, each with its own soil and microclimate; “cieli” (skies) are the skies the vines grow under. It is also a tribute to Cielo d’Alcamo, the 13th-century poet born in Alcamo, which is also the family’s surname.

Jocu is the winery’s organic Catarratto DOC Alcamo. It comes from the Val di Bella vineyard, 450 metres above sea level, on sandy, chalky soils, and matures for six months in steel, with no wood. White flowers, citrus and a fresh, savoury finish. To learn more about the grape, read our article on Catarratto.
