Cantine Rallo
History - deeply rooted in the present, since 1860
Don Diego Rallo began his entrepreneurial venture in the world of wine in 1851, founding the Cantine Rallo wine estate in 1860, the year of the unity of Italy. It was the time of Garibaldi and of the Marsala, the star of Sicilian winemaking at the time and a wineappreciated all over the world.
In 1997, after more than a century of history, the Vesco family, owner of a flourishing agricultural estate situated in the heart of the D.O.P.Alcamo, bought the company, combining the two estates. In an ambitious project with great attention to detail and respecting the heritage of this historic brand, the Vesco family turned Cantine Rallo into a modern estate, making it yet again a reference point on the map of Sicilian wine.
Since April 2010 Cantine Rallo has been operating as a “Società Agricola”, the most appropriate legal status for an estate that has always dedicated itself exclusively to the promotion of its agricultural production. Andrea Vesco runs the winery with expert knowledge and commitment, personally and meticulously attending to all the stages of productionfrom the cultivation of the grapes to the bottling of the wine.
Rallo is synonymous with quality, reliability and authenticity and is one of the oldest and most famous brands of Italian winemaking. Producing elegant and fragrant table wines, austere fortified Marsala wines and sweet and aromatic Passiti, for more than one hundred fifty years, Rallo has succeeded in staying young and fresh through unwavering commitment to its values and continuous research.
Today, Rallo stands for the best expressions of western Sicilian winemaking, producing the typical varieties of the province of Trapani, the most eclectic, suitable and planted terroir of Italy.
