Description
This wine is a combination of intuition and terroir. In 1990, without distorting the centuries-old tradition, instead of still focusing on the native grape variety par excellence, the Grillo grape, the company started the production of its first white table wine. An unknown wine which was used only for the production of Marsala.

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. Read more
