About
Tenuta Rapitalà
Rapitalà, much like Sicily itself, is a mosaic of influences that comes together to create its unique identity. A marriage of Sicilian soul and French know-how, Rapitalà showcases the power and personality of Sicilian terroir with an elegant, French winemaking style. Today, Rapitalà’s over 550 contiguous acres are divided into 180 unique vineyard parcels. Each parcel is managed, harvested, and vinified separately, crafting optimal terroir expressions. The work, started by Hugues de la Gatinais and his wife Gigi, is now carried on by their son, Laurent, with the same care and passion. He oversees Rapitalà’s continuing mission to integrate sustainable practices and new technologies into the property to achieve the purest expression of this region’s distinct terroir.
