Description
Barone di Serramarrocco
Trapani, along with Marsala, Erice, and Salemi, has for centuries been one of the areas most suited for vine cultivation in the Mediterranean. Today, with its 66,000 hectares of vineyards, it is the province with the largest vineyard area in Europe. Already in the first half of the 1800s, much of this territory was a cluster of feudal domains, characterized by over 15,000 hectares of particularly renowned vineyards, famous since the 16th century for the quality of their grapes. In 1624, Don Giovanni Antonio Marrocco y Orioles, Lord of Serramarrocco and Justice Captain of Salemi, distinguished himself in his attempt to save the population from the plague that devastated Sicily at that time. For his courage and self-sacrifice, His Majesty King Philip IV of Spain and Sicily elevated the lordship of Serramarrocco to a Barony "with mere and mixed empire", granting the same privilege on a "Royal Feud" already known at the time for the extension of the vineyards and the quality of their grapes, traditionally destined for the production of wines for the Royal Court of Sicily.
