about AZIENDA AGRICOLA SERGIO ARCURI

— ABOUT SERGIO —

Sergio Arcuri, an uncompromising winemaker dedicated to quality production, maintains and respects his family’s tradition of making wine which dates back to 1880. Sergio’s wines are all aged in cement containers, the method ensuring that the quality and expressiveness of the fruit ends up directly in the bottle.

A triple AAA certified producer of distinctive wines. The Triple AAA movement began in Italy, Triple AAA stands for –

Agriculture - natural grape-growing in the vineyard

Artisan - natural wine-making in the cantina

Artists - a focus on the creation of distinctive wines expressive of a specific terroir

— HISTORY —

1880 - Peppe Arcuri (Sergio’s great-grandfather) begins grape growing

1948 - Guiseppe Arcuri plants Gaglioppo vineyards in Ciro Marina

1973 - Sergio and Francesco Arcuri begin making and selling vino sfuso

— LOCATION —

Sergio grows grapes on a variety of parcels of land in and around Ciro Marina. Some of the vineyards look right out onto the Ionian Sea in Ciro Marina, others are located in the hilly regions defined by the valleys that extend inward from the coast. Sea breezes provide a cooling influence in this hot climate region. Those breezes, along with clay and limestone soils give a notable briny tang to Arcuri wines.
