"We

For years, Alberto and Francesca Tasca d’Almerita had
admired a vineyard dominated by Malvasia in a stunning
area with a rich history.
Attracted by this extraordinary combination of land and
vines, Capofaro was finally created in 2001.
BEAUTY IS LIGHT,
INSPIRATION, GUIDANCE.
LIKE A LIGHTHOUSE AT NIGHT ON
SALINA.
IT IS A FRONTIER LAND
THAT EMBRACES THE SKY
AND DIVES INTO THE SEA.
IN SICILY BEAUTY IS FRESH AND
GOLDEN
LIKE A MALVASIA FROM LIPARI.
BEAUTY IS CAPOFARO
AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO
CULTIVATE IT.

Illuminated by a historic
lighthouse on the bluff,
the charm of this 30+
year old vineyard
seduces anyone who
observes whether by
sea or by land. A
detailed study of the
vineyard revealed the
parcel of land next to
the lighthouse to be
exceptionally promising
and worth preserving.
And so, in 2004, the
“”Amphitheater””
vineyard was planted to
preserve the genetic
richness of the old vines
already present in
Capofaro, along with the
best genetic makeup of
the other parts of the
island.
The soils (volcanic, sandy, draining, with high
porosity but good water retention) and the
dynamic micro-climate due to the proximity
to both mountains and sea, have helped to
preserve the fruit and maintain freshness and
acidity in the wines.
Today, we have the opportunity to compare
the expressiveness of Malvasia not only in
other privileged areas of Salina (for example,
in the high zone of Valdichiesa) but also on
another of the Aeolian islands: on the nearby
Vulcano, Tasca d’Almerita cultivates another
wonderful vineyard that has been
passionately cared for over the years.
We have chosen the SOStain and VIVA sustainability programs because they allow for the preservation of available resources while respecting the delicate balance of ecosystems. Discover the ten ingredients for sustainability.

At Capofaro, a love of wine goes hand in hand with hospitality.

wine goes

hospitality.
Capofaro, a member of Relais&Chateaux, has created
a “feel” that goes far beyond the resort or island hotel
concept. It is a place filled with soul, a truly unique
wine destination at the center of the Mediterranean.
Perhaps, the most spectacular of all. Here you can
immerse yourself in the workings of the vineyard,
from pruning to harvesting. Choose to take a walk
through the vines with a sommelier who will explain
the most important stages of care for the vines.

Capofaro is the ideal
place for those seeking
relaxation, wellness,
and immersion in the
world of wine. An island
escape to discover
curated flavors and fine
details. It is an
encounter between
Sicilian cuisine and the
gastronomic traditions
of the Tasca family
reimagined through the
best local raw materials,
craftsmanship, and
creative flair of an
eclectic chef.
At Capofaro, nature reigns above all with
Tasca d’Almerita as its careful guardian. The
vineyards overlook the crystal clear sea, the
vegetable gardens and fields blossom in
shady corners, and the small white dwellings
blend fluidly with the Aeolian landscape. More
than just a corner of paradise, Capofaro is a
harmonious ecosystem. It is here that
Capofaro’s “Amphitheater” vineyard, a lush
and spectacular basin set in the heart of the
estate, serves as a natural backdrop to one of
the most exciting wine bars in the
Mediterranean and, certainly, the most
coveted of the Aeolian Islands.

Being on the greenest
and most agricultural
island of the Aeolians,
surrounded by the
Mediterranean Sea, with
a lush vegetable garden
at our feet and many
local producers as
passionate as we are,
allows for a variety of
dishes that are simple,
seasonal, micro-local
and environmentally
friendly.
Chef Gabriele Camiolo promises to weave
together the tale of typical Aeolian products
with the gastronomic legacy of the Tasca
d’Almerita family. This combination of historic
and modern know-how will be available to
guests who wish to try their hand at culinary
experiences with ingredients and recipes from
the estate.

Be welcomed to crisp
white rooms,
extravagant shades of
the bougainvillea’s
fuchsia, the green of the
caper plants and
vineyards, and the blue
of the sea.
By day, Capofaro is a palette of colors that
give way to a sky of stars, lanterns, and
candles at night, with the outline of Stromboli
and Panarea painting the horizon. Here you
can relax among the rows of Malvasia,
sunbathe by the pool, or just let the night
gently lull you and study a sky that only an
island can provide.
