Quattrocieli
Quattrocieli is more than just a winery.
It is an expression of love for their homeland β
the hills of Alcamo in Sicily.
Here, every vine and every grape is understood as part of a deep, natural connection between family, land and tradition.
π± The philosophy: An honest dialogue with the earth
Their work is guided by a simple but profound principle: to create a good wine, you must know and understand the land and establish an authentic dialogue with it.
Β· Handcrafting as an act of love:
Every action β from pruning to tying the vines β is done by hand.
It is respectful care that does not require chemical fertilisers, pesticides or fungicides.
Β· Natural protection: Only natural substances such as sulphur, copper, neem oil, orange essential oil and rock powder are used to protect the plants. The soil is fertilised with field beans and mature cow manure to maintain its fertility naturally.
π The practice: patience, respect and organic certification
The winery embraces a patience dictated by the natural rhythm of the seasons:
Β· Focus on indigenous vines: they favour native grape varieties that are best suited to the local climate and soil. The grapes are harvested exclusively by hand and with great care.
Β· No forced ripening: βWe never force ripening times, because we know that quality comes from time and patience, not haste.β
Β· Certified organic quality: This approach is underpinned by BioAgriCert organic certification. This confirms their commitment to agriculture that protects biodiversity and the integrity of the landscape.
π· The experience: wines and moments that capture the soul of Sicily
This philosophy is reflected in all aspects of Quattrocieli:
Β· The wines: they produce award-winning organic wines from indigenous grapes, renowned for their authenticity, harmony and liveliness. They are the pure expression of the Alcamo terroir.
Β· On-site experiences: At the winery, you can experience this connection to nature for yourself. The offer includes guided tastings with the winemaker, the opportunity to create your own cuvΓ©e, or a picnic among the vineyards.
Β· Join the wine club: Through the Quattrocieli Wine Club, you can have the award-winning wines delivered directly to your home and regularly taste βthe true aroma of Sicilyβ.
