Longarico

Luigi Stalteri and Alessandro Viola came home to Sicily with a shared conviction: that Alcamo's native Catarratto, grown at altitude and farmed honestly, deserved better than the cooperatives and bulk production that had consumed it for decades. In 2015, they began Longarico in the ancestral farmhouse of Luigi's grandfather, on the slopes of Mount Bonifato.

The two met in 2007 when Alessandro moved to Piedmont to study under renowned oenologist Donato Lanati. Luigi had meanwhile been running a natural wine bar in Bologna, building a deep familiarity with the best of minimal-intervention winemaking from across Europe. When both men returned to their native western Sicily in 2015, the Longarico project followed naturally. The name itself reaches back further: it derives from "Longuro," the ancient Greek name given to these lands when settlers noted the fertility of the coastal plains below.
