Rosso di Marco 2021 – De Bartoli
The Rosso di Marco 2021 is a signature wine of De Bartoli, showcasing the authentic character of Sicily’s indigenous grape varieties. Made entirely from 100% Pignatello (Perricone), a historic red grape from western Sicily, this wine represents the revival of a once-forgotten variety deeply tied to the Trapani terroir. The vineyards, planted between the early 1990s and 2000, feature 3,500 vines per hectare trained on Guyot supports and rooted in the famous “pignatiddare” red soils, ideal for producing concentrated and expressive wines.
Harvesting takes place manually in mid-September, with careful selection of clusters. Traditional winemaking techniques are used, including maceration in stainless steel vats with gentle punch-downs, utilizing indigenous yeasts to preserve the purity of the fruit. The wine is then aged in medium-sized French oak barrels (10 hl, Tronçais), adding structure and balance without overwhelming freshness.
On the nose, it shows ripe cherry, blackberry, subtle spice, and herbal notes, while the palate is fresh, smooth, lightly tannic, and extremely approachable, with a persistent, elegant finish. The Rosso di Marco 2021 pairs perfectly with Sicilian dishes such as pasta with sardines, grilled or roasted white fish, white meats, and seasonal vegetables, or enjoyed on its own to appreciate the depth and charm of this historic varietal.
