About the Producer:
The name of this
estate recalls the long history of the land: from the Arabic “Rabidh-Allah,”
Tenuta Rapitalà is named for “Allah’s River”
which runs through the vineyards. Owner Hugues Bernard was a French
naval officer who settled here in Sicily in 1968 when he married Gigi
Guarrasi, who belonged to a well known Palermo family. Not deterred
by the Belice Valley earthquake that destroyed the ancient buildings
on the site, the couple set to work, carefully re-establishing the
vineyards and reconstructing and modernizing the cellar. Their continued
dedication has placed them among the select quality producers who
have influenced the development of Sicilian winemaking. After more
than three decades, Hugues and Gigi still make excellent wines that
convey the unique character of the land.
