It a very old winery with an interesting portfolio. It produces very special and local wines such as Marsala, Zibibbo and Nero d’avola. I really enjoyed the experience. I could taste many different wines with local cheese and biscuits. And Antonio is a great host!

Imagination, knowledge and deep roots. The Donnafugata wines are a passionate interpretation of Sicily and its sensorial universe. Donnafugata was created in Sicily by an enterprising family with 160 years’ experience in premium wines. The adventure began in the Rallo family’s historic cellars in Marsala in 1983 and at its Contessa Entellina vineyards in the heart of western Sicily. In 1989 Donnafugata arrived on the island of Pantelleria, starting to produce naturally sweet wines.

30 km from Trapani, looking out towards the sea of Marsala, the Florio Wine Cellars fascinate visitors from all over the world with the beauty and tranquillity that reigns between their ancient naves, where Florio’s wines mature in silence. Built in volcanic tuff stone by Vincenzo Florio in 1833, the Florio Cellars invites the visitor to explore its extraordinary atmosphere, here history, architecture, modernity and design blend to offer a journey in an exclusive and astonishing world that thrills even the most expert wine-tourist. A new way of conceiving the wine cellars’ functions also means that this is no longer only the birthplace of unique wines like Florio’s Marsalas, Passitos and Liqueurs, but also welcomes visitors to conferences, exhibitions and tasting events. The magnificent barrel chambers, the two innovative Experiential Tasting Rooms, the spectacular Terrazza Florio and the elegant Wine Shop are all waiting for you, to offer you an unforgettably experience...

In 1773, a shipwreck forced an English merchant called John Woodhouse to land at Marsala. Business dismissed the tempest : he sent 52 pipes (i.e. around 20.000 l.) of wine to Liverpool, adding some more alcohol to the barrels, well aware of the English sweet tooth for madera, sherry or port. Vincenzo Florio was the first Italian to try his luck, so well that his family was later invited to Queen Victoria's funeral. All that and much more told by an incredibly energetic 38 yr young Italian lady, both charming and ruthless. She knows... Impressive winery tour, with a final degustation of four different wines & more in small bowls (15€) and a dazzling boutique.

We called at the last minute and were told that the tours were full...2 am tours and 2 pm tours and further that all of the tours were in Italian as now in August 2020 due to COVID travel difficulties most of the visitors are Italian. We were politely told that we could stop by and do a tasting in the lobby/shop but no tour. When we got there we started speaking to Noemie, a sommelier on staff. She ended up liking us I suppose and she conducted a private tour in English which was fantastic. Beautiful premises and in an hour we learned about the history of Marsala wines, saw the beautiful rooms with the stored barrels and did a tasting of 5 wines. 3 sweet pulled from the barrel directly in front of us (a first for me) and then two more wines a Grillo white and a Zibibbo (a rare grape also known as Muscat of Alexandria). Friendly and great value and I highly recommend this visit.

Marco De Bartoli strongly believed in the viticulture of his territory. Thus, at the end of the Seventies, he rediscovered and nourished the deep root between the traditional and innovative methods of working the soil and winemaking. Looking for an excellent quality, combined with the respect for Sicilian wine traditions, Marco chose native grapes, especially Grillo in Marsala and Zibibbo on the island of Pantelleria, to create traditional and territorial wines, like Vecchio Samperi and Bukkuram, and highly innovative ones, like Grappoli del Grillo and Pietranera. Today his children, Renato, Sebastiano and Giuseppina, with a firm belief, drive forward Marco's production philosophy, pursuing tradition and innovation, always aiming to the highest quality and to the respect for the territory.

9. Cantine Paolini
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 10 reviews
The Cantine Paolini takes its name after the rural area where our winegrowers live, the hamlet of Paolini. The name derives from the monastic order of the Paoline, who started to cultivate these vineyards at the beginning of the 16th Century. To this day our grapes ripen in the warm and breezy climate of that very same spot. The quality of our wines results from a perfect combination of our winemakers’ skill and experience with care and respect for a perfect land.
