This is a pre-order: Place your order now and receive your case of wine in February, 2025.

Cantina Barbera is located in Menfi, on the west coast of Sicily. The vineyards are about one mile from the Mediterranean Sea: an uncontaminated deep blue sea, facing South, where low cliffs and sandy dunes create a beautiful environment protected by the Belice River Natural Reservation Fund.

Son of a generous land, Coste al Vento delights the palate with a tasty and ripe fruit that melts into saline fragrances, and profits from a prolonged skin contact that enhances the wine’s unique personality. Its color is bright gold. Complex aromas of yellow ripe fruit merge into herbal scents of oregano, mint and sage, on a rich layer of nettle and fine green tea. A long lasting aftertaste enriches a vibrant fresh palate.

A particularly tasty combination for Coste al Vento is with big roasted fishes, grilled prawns or stuffed calamari. It is surprisingly good with glazed pork belly, or with semi-matured cheeses such as Tuma Persa and Caciocavallo Ragusano.

Cantine Barbera

Cantina Barbera is located in the Menfi Coast, on the west coast of Sicily.

A third generation farmer, Marilena Barbera farms the Inzolia that her grandfather planted in the 20's, just as she attends to the native varietals that are the new frontier of her own generation: Perricone, Nerello, Alicante, Nero d'Avola and Grillo. Marilena makes her wines praticticing organic farming and natural winemaking, while paying utmost respect to Menfi's terroir.

"At the winery, I chose to work only with spontaneous fermentations and to adopt non invasive winemaking practices, in order to respect the unique personality of Sicilian native grape varieties and the beautiful land to which they belong."
