ABOUT THE WINE

The Rallo winery is a family-owned winery located in the western part of Sicily, Italy, in the province of Trapani. The winery was founded in 1860 by Diego Rallo, and is currently run by the fourth generation of the family. Rallo winery focuses on producing wines that reflect the unique terroir of Sicily, with a particular emphasis on native grape varieties such as Grillo, Catarratto, and Nero d'Avola. The winery practices sustainable viticulture, with a focus on reducing their environmental impact and preserving the biodiversity of their vineyards.
Beleda is a 100% Catarratto, the flagship of our vineyards in Alcamo. A product of extreme elegance. Its label seems to be crumpled and it reminds to an imaginary paper – folding with gold leafs that show the plot cultivated with Catarrratto grapes seen from a satellite. The name Beleda is an adjective used by an Andalusian wandering Ibn Jubair in 1185 during his travel in Sicily. With this adjective he named Alcamo illustrating it as a small town with a market and a mosque.
