Barraco Zibbibo
A$58.00

Vintage: 2016

Vitigno: zibbibo 

With some extended skin contact this grape variety can really take on new forms, we like to think its reminiscent of dried oranges & rosemary while the palate is dry and exuberant. 

Service tips: Serve at 10-14C.  

Barraco Vignammare
A$48.00

Region of Italy: Marsala

Vintage: 2016

Grown so close to the ocean, you can smell Sicily's low tide in every glass.  Vignammare literally means vineyard on the sea. This young vineyard is close to the coast, so rich in seaweed deposits, that they are in filtration of salty water in the soil. The wine is so refreshing with hints of saline. 

Service tips: Serve at 8-10C.  Out of an oyster shell!

Barraco Catarratto
A$52.00

Region of Italy: Marsala

Vintage: 2017

Vitigno: catarrattto

Such a fantastic vintage, we absolutely adore how expressive, vibrant and full of fruit character this wine is.    

Service tips: Serve at 8-10C.  

Barraco Rosammare
A$48.00

Vintage: 2017

Vitigno: Nero d'Avola

More Lambic in style than a wine, Think tart cherries and energetic acidity.  Drink now or hold for a few years, it only gets more expressive.

Service tips: Serve at 8-10C.  

Barraco Alto Grado 500ml

This is the result of Nino digging out the true history of Marsala.
