Description
A still white wine with a brilliant amber color, produced by Marco De Bartoli, an icon of Sicily. A wine born from human wisdom, the strength of the climate, and respect for tradition. One of a kind, Vecchio Samperi Perpetuo is made from Grillo grapes, with an alcohol content of 16.5% vol. Aged for at least 15 years in oak and chestnut barrels using the perpetuo method, this wine tells the story of a family and a region. On the nose, a multifaceted personality emerges, settling between oxidative notes and green, ripe ones, with balsamic hints of eucalyptus and fresh mint. On the palate, the mentholated and balsamic effect is evident, warm, austere, smooth, and capable of bringing back memories of our grandparents' house, with camphor notes.

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
