Villa Carumè – Assuli
Villa Carumè is situated between Mazara del Vallo and Trapani, where the wind blows in from the Mediterranean across the vineyards and the sun shines practically all year round. The vineyards benefit from a warm Mediterranean climate, plenty of sunshine and constant sea breezes. Here, wines are produced from typical Sicilian grape varieties such as Grillo and Nero d’Avola.
Behind Villa Carumè stands the Caruso family, which has been involved in viticulture in western Sicily for generations. The brand name pays homage to the family and emphasises the winery’s close connection to its origins and terroir. At the same time, Villa Carumè conveys this heritage in a youthful, playful and contemporary style.
The winery is housed in a renovated 18th-century baglio, where historic walls and modern cellar technology blend harmoniously. The focus is on meticulous work in the vineyard and precise winemaking, ensuring that each grape variety can develop its own character.

The approximately 130 hectares of vineyards are spread across altitudes ranging from 100 to 600 metres above sea level. The proximity to the sea, sunny days and cooling breezes create the perfect conditions for viticulture. The grapes ripen under ideal conditions, retaining a pleasant freshness that lends the wines vibrancy and balance.
Sustainability is firmly embedded at Villa Carumè. The vineyards are organically farmed, complemented by the SOStain and VIVA programmes, which promote a responsible approach to nature and resources. With Grillo and Nero d’Avola, Villa Carumè focuses on two grape varieties that epitomise Sicily like few others. The result is approachable wines that charmingly reflect the landscape, climate and relaxed way of life of western Sicily.
Producer
Tarlant
The Tarlant family can look back on a long family history, one that can be traced back to 1687. For almost three and a half centuries they have devoted themselves to viticulture in the Marne Valley in the Champagne region. But it was only after World War I that the first hugely successful Champagne Tarlant was created. Today, brothers Jean-Mary and Benoît operate the family-owned company.
Finca Montepedroso
In the heart of Spain's Rueda wine region, at an altitude of 750 metres, lies the Montepedroso estate – a place where tradition, passion and personality come together. Here, siblings Carlos and Pilar Martínez Bujanda produce a white wine from 100% Verdejo grapes that impressively reflects the terroir of the region.
Duckhorn Vineyards
Co-founded by Dan and Margaret Duckhorn in 1976, Duckhorn Vineyards has spent nearly fifty years establishing itself as one of North America’s premier producers of Napa Valley wines.
