The Consorzio DOC Monreale, established in 2000, represents the union of nine wineries committed to promoting and protecting the winemaking tradition in the Monreale region of Sicily. Their participation in the upcoming edition of the Valladolid Fair offers wine lovers an exceptional opportunity to explore the oenological and cultural richness of this area.

More than a sector, an identity

The Denomination of Controlled Origin (DOC) Monreale covers an extensive area in the northwest of Sicily, including municipalities such as Monreale, Piana degli Albanesi, Camporeale, San Giuseppe Jato, San Cipirello, Santa Cristina Gela, Corleone, and Roccamena.

This region, known for its agricultural heritage, has been shaped by the cultivation of vines, olives, and wheat, elements that have defined the identity of local communities over the centuries. The influence of various civilisations and historical events has enriched the wine culture of the area, consolidating its reputation in the oenological field.
