Description
Following the evolutionary logic of his area’s wine history, Marco began making his “own” Marsala Superiore. This wine, with its memorable bouquet of perfumes and aromas, was conceived and produced to respect its “natural” tradition: it is fortified with a “mistella” produced from fresh grape must and brandy obtained from the same grapes of the base wine.

From this winery
- Start up year: 1980
- Oenologist: Renato e Sebastiano De Bartoli
- Bottles produced: 120.000
- Hectares: 18
Defying the conventions of the oenological market and betting with himself, Marco De Bartoli inaugurated his new production line in 1980, heedless of economic feedback, believing it a moral duty to uphold the traditional values of his land. Thus the first Vecchio Samperi wine was born. Later, De Bartoli reached Pantelleria intrigued by Moscato Passito, a product the market had alienated. Curiosity developed into a desire to master the science of growing Zibibbo grapes, which he could learn on Pantelleria. In part, the purpose was to convey the tradition of Pantelleria through the Bukkurum wine. This bottling took place, for the first time, in 1985. The following year, De Bartoli cold vinified the Zibibbo grapes, and other products took shape.

| Story | These classic versions of Marsala Superiore Riserva differ in the way they’re aged and because of the addition of the “mistella”, unlike Vecchio Samperi Ventennale. Both the younger 10 years aged wine and the more austere and older 1987 – which reminds us of the year it has been fortified – with their character take us back to sensations and emotions of older times. |
