Cellar
Nino Barraco, a young wine craftsman. An adventure that began in 2004, from the personal need to create wines capable of transmitting the peculiarities of the indigenous vines of his territory, that of Marsala, inspired by his family's farming tradition. Nino says that his goal is not to create perfect wines, but a wine that has its own personality, that is recognisable, working with total respect for nature and the land. In every harvest, he dedicates himself to innovation and experimentation. Free fermentation, long macerations, unconventional cellar operations. The varieties used are precisely the local ones, Zibibbo, Grillo, Pignatello and Nero d'avola.
Description
A wine capable of surprising Nino Barraco's Zibibbo, a Moscato di Alessandria in a dry version that combines its recognisable scents with the savouriness of the territory. It surprises with its taste persistence and complexity. Grapes from vineyards near Marsala. In the vineyard, Nino's approach is methodical and respectful, so no chemical or synthetic substances are used, so as to preserve the vitality of the rich heritage at hand.
Organoleptic characteristics:
Straw yellow with golden hues. Rich and complex on the nose with classic aromatic scents enriched by lime, citron, orange and grapefruit peel, nuances of basil and rosemary, with a very elegant ginger finish. In the mouth it is spicy, with great flavour and persistence and a pleasant alcoholic softness.
Storage time:
3-5 years
Vinification
spontaneous fermentation and 4 to 8 days' maceration on the skins in steel
