Al Fèu 1915 is a winery with 8 ha of vineyards producing natural wines in the heart of the Sicilian lands rich of history and charm, between Marsala and Trapani.
In our wines we try to enhance that unique bond established between the wine and the place with respect for nature, taking up the culture and tradition of making wine only with grapes.
The Al Fèu brand has its roots in distant times, from the Rizzo family (formerly Riccio) whose ancestry is attested since the end of the 13th century and is classified as the Riccio coat of arms of the third cadet branch of the Neapolitan patricians up to the present day.
Passion for wines was born in the Trapani area when grandfather Michele Rizzo in 1915 moved to the Sicilian countryside and began working on his first lands in the Falconeria and Pozzillo districts. His passion, preparation and love of doing things with the heart, have been handed down from father to son over the years up to today.
Today the Rizzo family, interpreting the values of its founder, spreads the culture of good wine and quality products of its territory. Our goal - to create unique wines that are an expression of the identity of a territory rich in traditions, flavors and aromas.
Al Fèu wines are born from the historic vineyards owned by the family in Contrada Falconeria and Pozzillo, in an area located between 250 and 300 meters above sea level characterized by a mild but not arid climate with significant temperature variations between day and night, determining factors for the natural ripening process of the grapes and a good concentration of aromatic substances in the skins, which manage to maintain a perfect balance, remarkable elegance and unique aromas that seal the bond of the wines with the territory of origin. In these clayey and calcareous soils that we aim to enhance native varieties, such as Catarratto and Inzolia, Perricone and international varieties such as Syrah that have adapted well to the territory.
