Curatolo Arini Marsala Superiore DOC Riserva Storica

Curatolo Arini dates back to 1875. Curatolo Arini is in Sicily’s famous Marsala region, and its history goes back to 1875. The history of the estate is best told by its legacy and past achievements. The newer generations have successfully worked hard to maintain the winemaking tradition started by their ancestors. Vito Curatolo set up his dream winery in the middle of vineyards in Marsala. By 1890, the company had started exporting and joined the Seagram Group in 1970 to start making table wine with their assistance. Currently, Vito’s great-grandson Sergio and grandson Roberto run the estate along with the latest generation Alexandra and Riccardo Curatolo. The winery started monovarietal winemaking in the 1990s with help from Alberto Antonini to express the unique qualities and flavors of grapes grown in different terroirs of the area. Natural conditions and terroir are perfect, and vines are planted at top sites like Fulgatore, Marsala, Gagliardetta, San Cataldo, and Chirchiaro. The main grape varieties grown here include Inzolia, Grillo, Nero d’Avola, Zibibbo, Catarratto, and Nerello Mascalese.
