Alice Bonaccorsi

Coming Up

In Sicily, Italy, Alice Bonaccorsi works as both grower and maker, keeping cultivation and making in direct contact with the season. That dual role keeps the craft anchored in place: what is grown sets the terms of what is made, and the land remains legible in the result. The family line behind that sensibility is plain in her own words: "My father was a doctor but his family owned some farmland and he was very close to the land." It is a useful frame for reading the work, because it points to where the discipline comes from.

Where They Are Now

The grower-maker role gives Alice Bonaccorsi a practice built on attention rather than display. Working in Sicily, Italy, she is positioned where cultivation and creation meet, with season and terrain shaping the pace of the work. The result is a method that keeps close to source and lets that proximity remain visible in the finished expression.

Signature

Valcerasa, Val Cerasa Etna Rosso, Carricante Terre Siciliane, and Etna Bianco Carricante are the names that mark Alice Bonaccorsi's signature work. Taken together, they point to a style defined by place, varietal identity, and specificity. The emphasis is on what distinguishes one expression from another, with Sicily acting as the reference point throughout. The register is direct, and that directness is part of the craft.
