The WineHunter recognizes us once again
Once again this year, Merano WineHunter has recognized our work in the vineyard and in the winery: three of our wines have received the prestigious WineHunter Award, earning a place among the finest selections identified by Helmuth Köcher’s panel. AV01 2024 — an Orange Catarratto, scored between 93 and 95.9. Born from skin-contact maceration, this wine expresses the full complexity and character of one of western Sicily’s most distinctive grape varieties, in a contemporary and original interpretation. Al Qasar 2025 — a Zibibbo, also awarded a score between 93 and 95.9. A wine that tells the story of the deep bond between our land and the Arab culture that shaped it for centuries, capturing all the aromatic richness typical of this variety. Lucido 2025 — our new Catarratto, scored between 90 and 92.9. Its name itself evokes clarity and brightness — a wine that shifts in nuance with the changing seasons, just like the grape it comes from. This recognition makes us proud and confirms the path we’ve chosen: quality, a strong sense of place, and care at every stage of production. And that’s not all: once again this year, we look forward to seeing you at the Merano WineFestival, the event that has celebrated Italian and international food and wine excellence since 1992. It will be the perfect opportunity to tell you more about these wines, let you taste them, and celebrate together another milestone for our winery.

Marsala is writing a new chapter in its history
Marsala is writing a new chapter in its history. After more than 250 years, the denomination confirms itself as one of the strongest in the regional landscape, right after DOC Sicilia, with certified production growing compared to 2012 and a supply chain involving hundreds of grape growers across Marsala, Trapani and the surrounding territories. But the numbers tell only part of the story. The Consorzio di Tutela is working on a deeper revision: that of the very narrative of Marsala, no longer tied to a generic area, but to specific zones, each with its own identity. This is how the Unità Geografiche Aggiuntive (UGA) — Additional Geographic Units — came about: four distinct areas defined by soil, exposure and microclimate, designed to give voice back to the territories and the grape varieties that represent them, Grillo above all, alongside Catarratto and Inzolia. Another central element of this new phase concerns the different types and their relationship with time. While Marsala Fine — also widely used as a cooking ingredient — remains the most produced type, the sector’s promotional efforts are increasingly focused on the Superiore, Superiore Riserva and Vergine types: products that require years, sometimes decades, of ageing in the cellar before they can be called by their name. A wait that becomes value in itself, a testament to artisanal care and to a vision that looks far ahead. For a winery like Rallo, which has produced and safeguarded Marsala since 1860, this relaunch of the denomination is also an opportunity to reaffirm a way of understanding wine that never changes: rooted in the land, patient through time, authentic in substance.
