Cellar
The historic Tenuta Rapitalà di Camporeale is located in Camporeale, in the province of Palermo, one of the oldest towns in Sicily. It covers 176 hectares in the area that slopes down from Camporeale towards Alcamo, on gentle hills between 300 and 600 metres, on land where clay and sand alternate. The perfect exposure and soil composition make it ideal for growing the finest grape varieties. Rapitalà is a real name, it comes from Arabic (Rabidh-Allah 'river of Allah' from the stream that flows through the vineyards), and is proof that this countryside has been cultivated since ancient times.
