Fior di bianco
From Nino’s youngest vines planted over sand, this is mostly Grillo, with a little Catarratto and a touch of Zibibbo in the mix. The grapes were fermented on the skins for just a day, before being pressed off to vats for a short rest. The result is a pretty and perfumed wine that takes you straight to the Sicilian seaside with its citrus, wildflowers, sea salt and brine. A wonderful aperitif that has a natural affinity with anything from the sea.

Nino Barraco
‘I’m looking to bring out the connection between the vines and our place. Our effort is to convey Sicily, in particular the Marsala terroir, returning to the traditional culture of winemaking using grapes only’. This, in few words, is the essence of Nino Barraco’s philosophy.
The vineyards are spread along the Marsala coast, and this is evident in every sip: these are wines that are made of Sicilian sun and seaside sapidity, and these are wines that tell us what Marsala was before the British ‘invasion’.
