Family origins and history
Cantine Patrì was founded as a family-run farm in 1936 in the Butera area (in the province of Caltanissetta), when Rocco Paterna started the business by cultivating the land.
In the following years, management passed to his son-in-law, Giuseppe Patrì, who, with vision and determination, led the company through steady growth.
The tradition continued with the next generation: his son Rocco, together with his wife Patrizia and their children Giuseppe, Elisa and Daniela, chose to decisively enhance the family’s winemaking heritage, dedicating one third of the approximately 250 hectares of owned land to the production of premium wines.
🍇 The business today
Today Cantine Patrì is a dynamic, family-owned winery recognized internationally, with a strong bond to its territory.
✦ It produces certified, high-quality wines such as Sicilia DOC, Riesi DOC and Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG, as well as Etna DOC, exported and appreciated worldwide.
✦ The company employs around 50 seasonal workers and a team of specialized agronomist technicians who oversee every stage from vineyard to bottle.
✦ Vineyard management and winemaking are driven by high quality standards and strong environmental respect, with sustainable practices and certifications such as GlobalG.A.P. and environmental ISO standards.
The Patrì family keeps its vocation for the land and wine alive, blending tradition, innovation and passion to express—through its wines—the identity and richness of Sicilian winemaking.
