our
story
It all began in the 1970s when Giacomo Vaccaro and his wife Caterina bought a small farm in Salaparuta, in an area of south-western Sicily devastated by the 1968 earthquake.
Here they chose to build their future on an activity closely tied to the love for that wonderful, wounded land, and began to devote themselves to growing vines.
In 1999 the project became a business: the Vaccaro winery was born, a modern winery strongly bound to the passionate spirit of those who created it.
The same passion and the same care now guide the choices of the other members of the family who work alongside the head of the family in running the company.
The history of the Vaccaro winery is a family story, the story of a Sicilian family united by a great project: MAKING GOOD WINES

That of his children Catia and Carmelo, who share the winery's activity with him, and of his grandchildren Luigi and Caterina, who will soon be active participants in the family's decisions. Catia, who has a degree in economics and a good artistic talent, handles marketing and corporate image with competence, character and sensitivity.
Carmelo, who completed his oenological studies and has a deep bond with the winegrowing world around him, follows the whole production process, from monitoring the vineyard and selecting the grapes through to winemaking and bottling the finished product. Everyone's commitment comes from the wealth of experience and knowledge of Giacomo and Caterina, and offers the most demanding tasters complete, easy-drinking wines with a balanced body and excellent fragrances.
