The di Bartoli estate is actually two wineries, the original family estate that Marco resurrected in Samperi on the western end of Sicily, and a newer one on the smaller island of Pantelleria. Samperi is in the heart of Marsala country while Pantelleria has long been known for passito dessert wines.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 96
"The 1988 Marsala Superiore Oro Riserva is a dark amber color with orange hues. It opens with a spice-box bouquet that takes all the confections of Autumn and Christmas blended with dried apricots, peaches and cedar shavings. It’s silky smooth yet lifted and decidedly savory, with a burst of ground ginger and sour citrus complicating its remnants of tart orchard fruit. Butterscotch comes together with clove and golden raisin as the 1988 finishes impossibly long and potent. It shows just a touch of forgivable heat as suggestions of hazelnut linger on and on. More like a brown spirit than a wine, the 1988 is irresistible." -Vinous

Decanter

D 94
"100% Grillo aged for 10 years in oak casks of different sizes in a solera system after being fortified with homemade mistella (fresh grape must and aquavit). Intense amber with copper hues. It is complex and rich on the nose; it has hints of dried figs, apricot jam, coffee, nutmeg, and candied citrus. The mouth is elegant and velvety, dominated by a decisive freshness. The finish is savoury, complex and long."
