Lucido

The Marco De Bartoli winery is one of the most significant and fascinating entities in the Sicilian wine scene, and beyond. Its history is inextricably linked to the charismatic figure of its founder, Marco De Bartoli, a true pioneer who dedicated his life to promoting native Sicilian grape varieties and rediscovering ancient winemaking traditions. Marco De Bartoli established his winery in 1978 on his family's estate in Samperi, near Marsala. This was a challenging period for Italian wine, and especially for Sicilian wine, often associated with industrial and mass production. Marco, with his unconventional vision, decided to focus on quality and the rediscovery of ancient rural practices. His name is strongly associated with the rebirth and restoration of Marsala's ancient dignity. Marco De Bartoli set out to produce an artisanal Marsala, true to its origins, far removed from the "commercial" versions that had tarnished its image. His goal was to demonstrate that Sicily could offer much more than bulk wine. His philosophy centered on profound respect for terroir and the valorization of native grape varieties. He firmly believed that only vines born and grown in their place of origin could express their best. His main vineyards are located in Samperi (Marsala) and on Pantelleria, a volcanic island where he cultivates Zibibbo with great passion.

This wine is not just a beverage, but a story of territory, an unbreakable bond with the volcanic, sun-kissed earth that gives it life. De Bartoli is renowned for adopting respectful agricultural and winemaking practices, aimed at maximizing the authenticity of the fruit and the soil. With Lucido, the winery continues to demonstrate its mastery in creating wines that are both modern and deeply rooted in tradition, offering a sincere and unforgettable tasting experience. It is the ideal choice for those seeking a Sicilian white with character, capable of expressing freshness, savory flavors, and a pleasing complexity.

In the glass, Lucido displays a brilliant straw yellow color, enhanced by greenish highlights that emphasize its freshness. Its clarity and visual vivacity pave the way for a pleasant sip. On the nose, the bouquet is delicate yet expressive. Fresh citrus notes, such as pink grapefruit and lemon, open, blending with hints of white flowers such as orange blossom and jasmine. Subtle hints of Mediterranean herbs and a distinctive mineral, almost saline note, reflecting its connection to the coastal terroir, are also detected. On the palate, the wine is dry, lively, and surprisingly fresh, characterized by a pleasant acidity that enhances its drinkability. Its structure is balanced, with a medium body and an aromatic persistence that leaves a sensation of cleanliness and savory flavor. The finish is long and mineral, inviting another sip. Marco De Bartoli's Lucido is a versatile and highly enjoyable wine, perfect for pairing with a wide range of light dishes. It is excellent with seafood appetizers, crudités, and fresh seafood. It pairs beautifully with fish or vegetable-based first courses, such as seafood risotto or spaghetti with clams. It also pairs well with steamed or grilled white fish and summer salads. Its freshness makes it an ideal companion for fresh, mild cheeses, such as buffalo mozzarella or ricotta salata.
