The Integer Bianco<\/strong> spiegelt die zunehmende Hinwendung Siziliens zu naturnahen Weinbereitungsmethoden wider. Marco de Bartoli, einer der bedeutendsten Qualit\u00e4tspioniere der Insel, zeigt mit dieser Linie sein Bekenntnis zur Authentizit\u00e4t. \u201cInteger\u201d \u2013 lateinisch f\u00fcr \u201cunber\u00fchrt\u201d, \u201cvollst\u00e4ndig\u201d \u2013 ist Programm: Hier manifestiert sich der pure Ausdruck des sizilianischen Terroirs ohne \u00f6nologische Schminke.<\/p>\n The barren, windswept soils in western Sicily with their high limestone content and the Mediterranean sunshine, tempered by cool sea breezes, give this wine its characteristic mineral tension. The 2022 vintage benefited from a balanced weather pattern, which ensured good ripeness while retaining freshness.<\/p>\n The de Bartoli family is one of the beacons of Sicilian wine culture. Whilst it is best known for the renaissance of Marsala, it demonstrates the versatility of Sicily's indigenous grape varieties with wines such as the Integer Bianco. The Integer line is vinified with minimal intervention - spontaneous fermentation with natural yeasts, prolonged contact with the skins and no filtration are all part of the philosophy.<\/p>\n With a moderate 12.5% alcohol and a restrained residual sweetness, the wine remains true to the Mediterranean ideal of elegance and drinkability without losing any of its complexity.<\/p>\n The Integer Bianco is exemplary of the rediscovery of Sicilian wine identity beyond international flavour trends. It represents the new generation of Sicilian wines that no longer focus primarily on strength and extract, but on finesse and terroir expression. The Terre Siciliane IGT classification allows the winemaker greater creative freedom than stricter denominations.<\/p>\n With its salty minerality and structured style, the Integer Bianco harmonises perfectly with the local cuisine of Sicily - try it with grilled swordfish with capers and lemon or with pasta con le Sarde. It is also an excellent accompaniment to seafood with Asian flavours.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Winemaking philosophy<\/h3>\n
