Description
Still white wine, 12.5% ABV, produced by Marco De Bartoli in Sicily. 2024 vintage, 0.75L bottle. A Catarratto Lucido that embodies Marco De Bartoli's philosophy, a wine that expresses the purity of the grape variety and the terroir. The winery is located twelve kilometers from Marsala, in that part of Sicily that is magnificent in every way. Rigorous manual selection of the bunches and gentle pressing yield a must that will then settle naturally and cold for 48 hours. The clear part undergoes temperature-controlled fermentation with indigenous yeasts, beginning in steel tanks and finishing in small 225, 500, and 1000-liter French oak barrels to preserve its primary aromas and enhance its bouquet during the aging period. Aged for 12 months in barrels with suspended yeasts (batonage technique) until maturity. Aged for 6 months in bottle.

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. Read more
