Sole e Vento - Marco De Bartoli

The Sole e Vento are the result of a perfect blend between the two territories of the company; The volcanic soils of Pantelleria that give us the Zibibbo and those calcareous-sandy Marsala that provide us with the Cricket. The grapes to obtain the Sun and Wind come from the roots of Pietranera and Grillo Bunches, two other wines of the company. After decapitation the grapes are pressed and started to cold maceration for 24 hours, after the pressing the must is decanted and started to spontaneous fermentation with the only use of indigenous yeasts.

Winery: Marco De Bartoli

We cannot speak of Marco De Bartoli without associating his name with his wonderful Vecchio Samperi. In fact, it was he who led the rebirth of this wine for decades put in purgatory and associated with the worst names. Marco was a volcano, a dreamer, he liked to talk, and with anyone he spoke he told about his beautiful Sicily, about his wine and got very angry when he thought about the end that he had made this wine. Since 2011, the company has been run by the sons Renato, Sebio and Giuseppina who carry out the project started by Marco with love and passion. The vineyards are located 12 km from Marsala and on the island of Pantelleria, in the Bukkuram district, which in Arabic means father of the vineyard. The cultivated vines are only native Sicilian; from Grillo, to Zibibbo raised in Pantelleria and used for the passito and the Bukkuram line. De Bartoli's wines tell of his land, his thousand projects, his tenacity and his will to win on all fronts.
