SICILY-THE ISLAND NATION 10/06/2021 BY ERIC GUIDO – VINOUS

If I were permitted only one producer on the island of Sicily to introduce readers to, it would be Marco de Bartoli.Marco de Bartoli turned a passion for tradition into a vision of the future, and his heirs, have held the line,learning from their father’s teachings while keeping an innovative eye on new practices and trends. Today, de Bartoli continues to release purely traditional-styleMarsala, using only estate-grown Grillo, the Solera barrel aging system (which uses oak and chestnut vats of various sizes) and, in the case of the Vecchio Samperi, no fortification.
