Wine is culture and culture does not stop: it is handed down.
It takes from the past and carries into the future”.

A FAMILY AND ITS WINES, FOR SIX GENERATIONS
Valle dell’Acate winery has driven forward its ancient tradition from the XIX century. For six generations the Jaconos have handed it down and led it into the future.
Extending on seventy hectares, Valle dell’Acate vineyards are located in the enchanting rural districts of Biddini Soprano e Biddini Sottano, in Ragusa province. They are organic certified and, under the guidance of Gaetana Jacono, they have specialized in fine native wines, the most representative of these areas.
OUR WINES
Our wines are an expression of the radiance and elegance of native flavors, such as Frappato di Sicilia, applauded by the international oenological critics, and Cerasuolo di Vittoria BDN. Valle dell’Acate entire production is organic.
CRU
Cerasuolo di Vittoria and TANE’ – Nero d’Avola are the winery products that stand for excellence. IRI DA IRI, the Cerasuolo di Vittoria Cru is the only D.O.C.G (the label that guarantees the quality and origin of a wine) in Sicily. It is a single varietal expression, cultivated in Biddine Soprana vineyard, 200 mt above the sea level. This wine proves that Cerasuolo is a long aging wine, a success for the twenty years research conducted by Gaetana Jacono and oenologist Carlo Casavecchia. TANE’ – Nero d’Avola, (Tanè stands for “Gaetana” in Sicilian dialect), is produced with grapes that grow in a small vineyard. The grapes yearly harvest is no more than 800 grams per plant, picked at the time fruits have reached the correct maturation to ensure the highest quality guaranteed by Valle dell’Acate.
NATIVE RED CLASSICS
Organic wines that reveal the authentic expression of Hyblaean history and character. The native red wines are: BDN Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG, Il Frappato di Vittoria DOC, Il Moro – Nero d’Avola DOC Sicilia.
WHITE FLORAL CLASSICS
Organic wines that reveal the authentic expression of Hyblaean history and character. The floral white wines that capture the fragrances of the valley are: Zagra – Grillo DOC and Thymbra – Vermentino IGT Terre Siciliane.
BELLIFOLLI
For us wine is the center of a universe of condivision, experiences, fun and joy. Bellifolli is the new line of fresh and brilliant wines, which synthesizes the beauty, the madness, the blinding light and the storminess of the most authentic Sicilian spirit, made iconic by the masks of the Baroque balconies that stand out on the five labels of this line.
A tribute to the Iblean architecture through five wines: Insolia, Bianco, Nero d’Avola, Rosso di Syrah and Frappato di Rosato, characterized by a surprising brilliance and aroma, which bring the excellence of Sicilian wine culture into a dimension international, contemporary and convivial.
SUSTAINABLE QUALITY, IN HARMONY WITH NATURE
Today Valle dell’Acate production is entirely organic, certified from 2018, but it has always been concerned with environment safeguard. In 2020 the company joined the VIVA project (for sustainable viticulture) endorsed by the Ministry for Environment and Land and Sea Tutelage. Valle dell’Acate became the first Energy Community of Vigneto Italia that involved the use of a platform to manage a single plant that supplies 200 kw and links adjacent companies.
