The Vaccaro family and their investment in the Macellarotto district
The history of Case Alte begins in 1950 in Camporeale, in the fertile Val di Mazara. A profound connoisseur of the territory and its potential, Giuseppe Vaccaro began producing wines for Palermo taverns. The positive feedback obtained from these wines pushes Giuseppe to expand his company with the purchase of land and a block of flats in the Macellarotto district.
Case Alte winery: From love for one's land to the production of excellent organic wines
Giuseppe Vaccaro and his son Calogero begin cultivating the main native Sicilian vines Catarratto, Grillo and Nero d'Avola and the international Syrah grapes which have found a particularly favorable territory in Macellarotto. The Vaccaro wine production is strictly organic and is characterized by great attention during all phases of the production process, from the cultivation of the vineyards to the bottling of the wine.
Only in 2010 did the Vaccaros, driven by the interest of Calogero's son, named Giuseppe like his grandfather, transform the building on the Macellarotto promontory into the Case Alte winery and officially began the production of the excellent Case Alte wines.
On our TerraMadre.it store you can buy all the labels of the Case Alte winery: the Grillo 4 Filari, the Catarratto 12 Filari, the Nero d'Avola 16 Filari and the famous Syrah of Macellarotto.
The extraordinary Case Alte wines tell of the love for their land and their vineyards, with an eye towards the future, focused on the themes of sustainability and organic farming, without forgetting their roots and the care dedicated to the vineyards by past generations . The history of Case Alte and the Vaccaro family is a bit of a mirror of modern-day Sicily which is passionately committed to producing excellence and enhancing its territory.
