Giuditta Raccuglia

Career Giuditta Raccuglia’s work at CVA Canicattì is marked by continuity: one cellar, one set of problems, refined over time rather than spread across many houses. That kind of long contact with a single production environment matters in winemaking, where consistency, memory, and a clear standard of execution shape the cellar as much as the equipment does. At CVA Canicattì, modern equipment and current winemaking methods frame a style built for complexity and richness, and Raccuglia’s role sits squarely inside that brief.

The Path

Training at the University of Palermo, the University of Turin, and Instituto Superior de Agronomia gave Raccuglia a base that joined study to cellar practice. In trade terms, that matters less as pedigree than as preparation: a winemaker learns to move between theory and the daily discipline of production, and those years established the structure for that work. Her first role at CVA Canicattì was as enologa in Canicattì, where the job meant being inside the rhythm of the cellar and the routine decisions that determine a wine’s shape. From 2020, she has served as direttore tecnico at CVA Canicattì, extending that responsibility rather than changing its center. The result is a career built on sustained familiarity with place, process, and a single estate’s working demands.

The Work Today

Her current post as winemaker keeps the emphasis on technique: modern winery equipment, the latest winemaking methods, and wines aimed at depth and texture. The point is not ornament. It is the disciplined use of tools and method to make wines with richness and complexity. That is where the work lands in practice: study translated through repetition, and repetition turned into precision. Within CVA Canicattì, Raccuglia’s contribution is defined by consistency and practical control, the kind of cellar intelligence that turns a modern setup into wines with character.

Acclaim

Diodoros is the named signature here, described as a “rosso di classe” that grows in the shadow of the temples of Agrigento. The wine’s value lies in that specific frame of reference: place is not decoration, but part of the wine’s identity. As a signature work, Diodoros points to the kind of close alignment between origin and style that defines Raccuglia’s profile.
