Marco De Bartoli is one of Sicily's legendary producers. But unlike so many of the island's famous names, his story doesn't begin on the volcanic slopes of Mount Etna or the sandy soils of Vittoria. It begins in Marsala, where he helped restore the reputation of one of Italy's great traditional wines and remind the world that Marsala could be so much more than a simple cooking wine.

Though the estate is best known for its long-aged, deeply complex Marsalas, today we're excited to share three delicious dry whites that are exactly the kinds of wines we want to drink this time of year. Bright, crisp, and wonderfully refreshing, they combine ripe citrus, wild herbs, and vibrant minerality into wines that feel like a cool breeze off the Mediterranean.

Sole e Vento is a blend of Grillo from the Marsala coast and Zibibbo from the volcanic island of Pantelleria. Delicately floral, ultra crisp, and packed with citrus, fresh herbs, and crunchy minerality, it's pure Sicilian refreshment. Vignaverde is 100% Grillo, harvested early to preserve its vibrant freshness. It layers ripe lemon and orchard fruit over chalky minerality with the variety's signature savory kiss of almond on the finish.

Lucido is 100% Catarratto from organically farmed vineyards near the town of Alcamo, just east of Marsala. Slightly broader and more textured than the Grillo bottlings, it balances citrus and stone fruit with savory herbs, bright acidity, and a long, mouthwatering finish.

Whether you're grilling fresh seafood, putting together a simple summer dinner, or simply looking for a bottle to cool down with after work, these are exactly the kinds of wines we reach for all summer long.
