About Al-Cantara
The Al-Cantara winery was established in 2005 with the vision of bringing artisanal wines imbued with poetry to the market. The culmination of two decades of success came in 2023 with the prestigious award of "Winery of the Year - Gran Vinitaly 2023." This recognition speaks to the meticulous work in the vineyards and cellars. While wine production is undoubtedly a team effort, the influence of Salvatore Rizzuto, the oenologist, cannot be overstated.
Beyond their excellent quality, Al-Cantara wines immediately catch the eye with their sophisticated and colorful labels. Young Sicilian artists are given the opportunity to unleash their creativity, producing unique designs. Connoisseurs of Italian poetry will notice that the wines are named after works by Sicilian poets.
The name "Al-Cantara" is derived from a meandering river that finds its way to the sea along the slopes of Mount Etna.
