De Bartoli Vecchio Samperi
Marco De Bartoli named his first wine Vecchio Samperi in honour of Contrada Samperi, on the outskirts of Marsala, whose arid land, rich in limestone and minerals, is so well suited to vine growing. This was the starting point to develop and communicate his concept of ‘territoriality’. To make Vecchio Samperi, the company uses the ancient perpetuum (or Soleras) method that, through the addition of small amounts of new, young wine to wines that are already being aged in barrels, allows to create a harmonious blend of different vintages, with a unique and inimitable taste.

Colour

Amber-topaz.

Bouquet

Extremely complex with notes of cocoa, dried fruit in alcohol, aromatic wood, and almond, with an intense and defined alcohol content.

Flavour

Salty taste, warm, dry, enveloping, with a long persistence.

Pairing

It pairs with aged cheeses, braised meats, and oven-baked turbot. At room temperature or slightly chilled, interesting and amazing as an apéritif.

Marco De Bartoli

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 ...
