Description

Every year the harvest tells feelings and different potential. This is further amplified in Pantelleria. Marco De Bartoli during the harvest often said that the essential element, to get his sweet wine of Pantelleria, was the "August sun," just the month in which dry the grapes in Bukkuram. "Sun of August" is the Passito sweet wine produced annually in the village of Bukkuram.

Marco De Bartoli
From this winery
  • Start up year: 1980
  • Oenologist: Renato e Sebastiano De Bartoli
  • Bottles produced: 250.000
  • Hectares: 25
The winery is twelve kilometers far from Marsala, in that land of Sicily that is great in every and all representations, for better or for worse; hard land of hard men, of families settled on the territory.

Marco De Bartoli has signs of these every day fights, but he has won against all odds, with the tenacious, stubborn conviction of being right, and in order to demonstrate it, he speaks a lot, as it is common in Sicily, not to speak about himself, but to allow me to drink: here it is his greatest evidence.

Today he has a family of which he is proud of: Renato and Sebastiano, sons, are quite adults, while Josephine, the younger daughter, inherited the name of his great-grandmother, of French origins.
