Alice Bonaccorsi welcomed us to her winery in Crucimonaci county, on the slopes of Etna. She considers her old vines as "beautiful ladies" and her mission is to care of them in respect of their times and their natural features. The majestic silhouette of Etna that dominates the area is not a monster to be afraid of but it's a female divinity that protects people and gives new fertile land to cultivate with its flows, year after year. The fact of being a "woman of wine" initially put a strain on her but today, thanks to her determination, it has become an added value.

Azienda Agricola Alice Bonaccorsi

Valcerasa is a small family estate on the northern slope of Mount Etna, between Randazzo and Passopisciaro. In the late 1990s, Alice Bonaccorsi and her husband Giuseppe came back to revive the old family vineyards, planted on steep volcanic terraces at 750 meters above sea level.
Farming on Etna isn’t easy—especially back then, when the region wasn’t on anyone’s radar. But Alice chose to stay and grow roots here. Her vines, many of them old and ungrafted, are treated with care and respect, like “beautiful ladies,” as she likes to call them. Etna itself is not a threat to her, but a powerful and generous female presence—one that offers new land and energy with every eruption.
The estate is organic, with spontaneous fermentations and minimal intervention in the cellar. The wines carry the strength and grace of both the land and the woman behind them. Being a woman in a male-dominated world wasn’t always easy for Alice, but over time it has become one of her greatest strengths.
