Tenuta Rasocolmo

Tenuta Rasocolmo – Sicily’s Premier Winery & Art Resort

Location & Setting
Perched atop Capo Rasocolmo, this 10‑hectare estate overlooks the sparkling Tyrrhenian Sea and the Aeolian Islands. It blends classical 19th‑century charm with contemporary elegance across olive groves, vineyards, citrus orchards and hidden garden corners

Accommodations & Atmosphere
The beautifully restored farmhouse—once the family’s palmento (wine press building)—houses luxurious suites and rooms that respect the historic roots while offering modern comforts. Every space tells a story of heritage and hospitality

Winery & Wine Production
Tenuta Rasocolmo cultivates DOC Faro grapes organically across its 3‑hectare vineyard, crafting Rosso Faro exclusively in steel, as well as Inzolia, sparkling wines, and mead. Notably, its Faro 2020 earned a bronze medal in the WOW! 2023 competition by ‘Civiltà del Bere’—celebrated for its pure expression of terroir, without barrels
