Cantine Barbera La Bambina Menfi Nero d'Avola Rosato

To understand the wines of Cantine Barbera, you need to see the ocean.  Vines that live this close to the ocean in south-western Sicily turn the sea brine into vibrant tasty salinity.  A third generation farmer, Marilena Barbera farms the Inzolia that her grandfather planted in the 20's, just as she attends to the native varietals that are the new frontier of her own generation: Perricone, Nerello, Alicante, Nero d'Avola and Grillo.
