This year Nino’s rosato is a little different than usual, being a blend of roughly equal parts of Nero d’Avola and Pignatello, with a touch of Vitraruolo and Catarratto in the mix. The grapes were pressed directly and the wine rested in a combination of vats and oak casks until the following spring. The result is a savoury, nuanced rosato that impresses with seaside scents of blood orange, salt and brine.

About

Nino Barraco

Nino Barraco has been instrumental in rewriting the story of wine in Marsala.

Nino took over his family’s vineyards in 2004 and from the outset he has done things differently, working organically, focussing on the native grapes of his Western Sicily and producing single vineyard wines in the hope of showing others the region’s true potential.

He has spent the past few decades acquiring small parcels and now farms a total of twenty hectares of vines spread along the coast north and south of Marsala. Nino’s work is tireless and he can usually be found driving his beat up Fiat through the dunes to check on his vines. There he works organically and with a great respect for nature.
