The first dry white wine from Zibibbo grapes on Pantelleria
Pietra Nera by Marco De Bartoli is a Sicilian white wine, born from Zibibbo grapes. Symbol of the nature of the island of Pantelleria lava, is a wine that is in contrast to the typical production of Moscato di Pantelleria, a demonstration of the revolutionary potential of the Zibibbo.

Young, fresh and fruity, Bukkuram "Sole d'Agosto" is the passito that is produced every year in the Bukkuram vineyard in Pantelleria. It takes its name from an indispensable element for Marco De Bartoli, the “August sun”, the month in which the grapes are dried in Bukkuram.

Marsala wine and not fortified Marsala
Produced for the first time in 1980, Vecchio Samperi is a wine without equal. It is the wine of the pre-British Marsala tradition, the "wine of Marsala" which could not be called Marsala because it is not fortified as required by the Marsala Vergine specification. To make Vecchio Samperi, the De Bartolis use the ancient perpetuum aging method (similar to Solera system) that, through the addition of some 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.

Made in respect of its "natural" tradition and fortified with a mixture of must and brandy, Marco De Bartoli's Marsala Superiore is characterized by very complex aromas and fragrances and offers sensations and emotions of other times.

Cold vinified Marsala
Obtained only from Grillo grapes, Vigna La Miccia by De Bartoli is an innovative and contemporary semi-dry Marsala Superiore Oro since it is cold vinified. Cold vinification enhances the fruity and more delicate notes of the vine and avoids excessive oxidation during its evolution.

This Marsala stems from the need to give consumers of wines Marco De Bartoli a classic, but different from the wine taste dry aged. 

Hugonis with its powerful and austere style is the most prized product of the Tenuta. The seal of Hugonis Bernardi - a knight in armour with two lions - which appears on the label, is the coat-of-arms of the family of Hugues Bernard de la Gatinais

Catarratto and chardonnay grapes give this wine fresh Mediterranean scents and a savoury, elegant flavour with a typical hint of bitter almonds. Piano Maltese is the heart of the Tenuta Rapitalà, gentle hills at between 300 and 600 metres altitude, which, because of their history, terrain and climate endow wines with a special character. 

A document of 1340 chronicles a dispute before the royal, court concerning the possession of a particularly sought after fief in the district of "Casalj Rabitallavi”. This was the ancient name of Tenuta Rapitalà. Vigna Casalj di Rapitalà is a Sicilian white wine made from Catarratto grapes, with clear Mediterranean references of sage, tomato leaf and capers. The terroir gives it freshness and minerality.

Some rain during the early part of 2003 restored the soil’s water reserves. The flowering and the setting followed their normal course. The summer was very hot and dry, but growth developed steadily. The vines, for long periods close to stress conditions, acquired a rich reserve of polyphenols enhanced by a sunny and airy August which enabled them to reach full phenolic maturation.

The nero d'Avola vinified on its own gives this wine an exciting red colour, an aroma of ripe fruit and a typical, deep, balanced flavour.

The vineyards where we select the grapes for the production of Nuhar (flower in Arabic) are cultivated at the heart of the mountain which overlooks the Tenuta and from which rises the river “Rabidh Allah".
