Monteleone
Monteleone’s story centers around Giulia Monteleone, her father Enrico, and her partner Benedetto Alessandro, a professional winemaker. Though not a traditional family business, the shared passion for tending vineyards and crafting wine has deeply intertwined their lives.
Their journey began in July 2017, when they discovered a two-hectare vineyard near the Alcantara River, at the base of Mount Etna, just 30 meters from the historic Byzantine Cuba di Santa Domenica. On that hot summer day, the vineyard’s beauty and atmosphere dispelled any doubts. Inspired by this location, they embarked on their winemaking adventure.
Since then, they have focused on expanding with new vineyards, laying the foundation for future wines. Their story is still unfolding, with the most exciting chapters yet to be written.
