About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes grow in Marsala on limestone and sandy-loam soils.

Vinification

The grapes are hand-harvested into small baskets, with each bunch selected by hand. After pressing, the juice settles naturally before skin maceration and spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts in old barrels and clay amphorae. Malolactic fermentation follows. Intervention is kept to a minimum, without chemical, physical or mechanical treatments. The wine is bottled unfiltered and without added sulfites.

Ageing

The wine rests on its lees for at least 10 months.

Tasting profile

Intense.

Serving and pairing

Allow the wine to breathe in the glass or a decanter for 15–30 minutes before drinking.

Label / history

The name “Integer” comes from the Latin for “whole.” The Integer range is made exclusively from native grape varieties that have found a natural home in Marco De Bartoli’s vineyards.
