History
The Jacono family has made wine in the Ragusa area since the late 19th century, when Vittoria was Sicily's Frappato-export hub; Giuseppe Jacono Jr created Valle dell'Acate in 1981 to focus on the local natives. His daughter Gaetana Jacono, who joined in 2000, made it a reference for Cerasuolo di Vittoria, Sicily's only DOCG, and for a benchmark varietal Frappato.
