Made from \u003cstrong\u003eGrillo\u003c\/strong\u003e grapes, it represents the original, unfortified version of Marsala wine, interpreted with a distinctly \u003cstrong\u003eoxidative style\u003c\/strong\u003e. In the glass, it reveals a brilliant amber hue, which anticipates a warm, austere and remarkably smooth sip. The bouquet is layered, enriched with balsamic notes of fresh mint, eucalyptus and distinct \u003cstrong\u003ecamphor-like hints\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt originates in western Sicily, in the historic Contrada Samperi in Marsala. The vineyards grow on flat soils with a \u003cstrong\u003ecalcareous-sandy composition\u003c\/strong\u003e, ideal for imparting savouriness and the structure needed for long ageing. The vines, cultivated using the \u003cstrong\u003ealberello and Guyot\u003c\/strong\u003e methods with low yields, ensure a rigorous expression, keeping alive the centuries-old tradition for the region's \u003cstrong\u003eperpetual wines\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes, harvested by hand, undergo gentle pressing and natural sedimentation. Fermentation takes place at room temperature thanks to the action of \u003cstrong\u003eindigenous yeasts\u003c\/strong\u003e. Ageing occurs in \u003cstrong\u003epartially filled\u003c\/strong\u003e oak and chestnut barrels for at least fifteen years, following the ancient \u003cstrong\u003eperpetual method\u003c\/strong\u003e. The skilful blend of historic vintages and small fractions of young wine ensures continuity and extraordinary depth of flavour.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eVecchio Samperi Perpetuo\u003c\/strong\u003e by Marco De Bartoli is a tribute to the original Marsala, created before the arrival of British fortification. Produced in the Sicilian district of the same name to enhance the pure essence of the territory, it matures for an average of 15 years in historic \u003cstrong\u003eoak and chestnut casks\u003c\/strong\u003e. This excellence comes to life thanks to the ancient \u003cstrong\u003eperpetual method\u003c\/strong\u003e, in which skilful fractional transfers enrich the historic vintages with the addition of younger wines. A masterpiece that tells a family story, celebrated with 5 Bibenda Grapes and 93 Decanter points.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Marco De Bartoli","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44505599639723,"sku":"30475","price":62.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/de-bartoli-vecchio-samperi-perpetuo_30475_1.jpg?v=1773680993","url":"https:\/\/xtriwine.com\/products\/marco-de-bartoli-vecchio-samperi-perpetuo","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
