Integer Zibibbo 2022 - Marco De Bartoli

Integer Zibibbo - Marco De Bartoli

Integer Zibibbo by Marco De Bartoli is a Sicilian white wine that smells of mango and apricot, orange blossom and aromatic herbs. Polputous but at the same time fresh and drinkable. The Zibibbo grapes come from vineyards cultivated with Pantesco saplings, harvested in the first ten days of October. The destemmed grapes ferment in used barrels and open terracotta amphorae in contact with the skins for about 10 days. The wine ages for at least 10 months on the fine lees.

Service

We taste the Pietranera at a temperature of 12/14 ° in the tulip chalice. The Pietranera is to drink immediately, but will express its best in a few years. It is advisable to keep it in a horizontal position in a fresh, damp, dark cellar.

Pairing

The Pietranera lends itself perfectly to be combined with light fish starters, to try with a wild asparagus risotto.

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.
