Palari

Estate story

Palari is a historic and highly respected winery located in Santo Stefano Briga, on the hills overlooking the Strait of Messina, an area with an ancient and prestigious winemaking tradition.

Owned by Salvatore Geraci, Palari is internationally renowned for the production of Faro DOC, one of Sicily’s most noble and long-lived appellations.

Viticulture in the Messina area dates back to at least the 14th century BC, as proven by archaeological discoveries that testify to a flourishing wine culture already in ancient times.

For centuries, the wines of Faro were considered among the finest of the Mediterranean, sustaining the local economy and shaping the identity of the territory.

The vineyards are located in the Palari district of Santo Stefano Briga and are planted exclusively with native grape varieties, some of the oldest in Sicily: Nerello Mascalese, Nerello Cappuccio, Nocera, Cappuccio, Cor’e Palumba, Acitana, Galatena and others, all permitted under the Faro DOC regulations.

These historic varieties are deeply rooted in the land and perfectly adapted to its unique conditions.
