Marsala Wine: The Company

It was 1875 when a young Vito Curatolo Arini decided to build a winery at the center of his vineyards in Marsala. Arini was Vito’s mother’s family name. It was not common then to take both one’s father and mother’s surnames, but he wanted to distinguish himself from other Marsala producers and take his wine around the world. He wanted to focus on the production of quality wines characterized by an eye catching packaging, and in developing new markets.

He started exporting in Europe, South America and even USA competing with the greatest Marsala exporters at the time. The many awards Vito received for his efforts are testimony to both his entrepreneurial skills and the quality of the Curatolo Arini product.

For more than 140 years our family’s enthusiasm, passion and commitment to making fine wines have never lessened: today Vito’s grandson Roberto and great grandson Sergio manage the winery and keep alive Vito’s dream with the help of their children.
