This northwesterly corner of Sicily is one of harsh climes and backbreaking vineyard work, with steep slopes, high winds and scorching mid-summer temperature countered by huge temperature swings into chilly, high-elevation nights. Here, Marco Sferlazzo's eighteen hectares of albarello, or 'bush vine' trained vineyards - the bulk of which exceed 50 years of age - cling to sandy, limestone-riddled hillsides, the vines' bushy exteriors acting as a shield of sorts to all that mother nature throws at them. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"porta-del-vento-voria-frizzante-nv","title":"Porta del Vento Voria Bianco Frizzante NV","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"roboto, helvetica neue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif\" color=\"#000000\"\u003eJoyous and carefree Sicilian bubbles here... Marco's 'Voria' line up is driven by pure pleasure and refreshment, and boy do they deliver in spades. All Catarratto once again, the Voria Bianco is fermented to dry then bottled after 3 months with a little unfermented must, kicking off the secondary fermentation in bottled and creating the raft of gentle, fuzzy bubbles . Released without disgorgement but always super clean and fresh, this frizzante lean into the tropical side of things (not always the image immediately conjured when considering PdV's craggy, windswept hills!) – dried pineapple, pulpy yellow pear, white flowers, lemon zest, and plenty of salinity. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lucidity","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":12726300835920,"sku":"210000003975","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1016\/7695\/files\/VoriaBianco.jpg?v=1692990065"},{"product_id":"porta-del-vento-voria-rosato-frizzante-nv","title":"Porta del Vento Voria Rosato Frizzante NV","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"roboto, helvetica neue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif\" color=\"#000000\"\u003eWhile Catarratto is clearly the name of the game for most of Marco's work, the native red grapes of Western Sicily are very much in his wheelhouse, too. Derived entirely of Perricone, a Sicilian rarity in its own right and native specialty to this northwestern corner of Sicily, the Voria  Rosato is bottled after 3 months with with a little unfermented must, spurring a secondary fermentation in bottle.

Adhering to Marco’s strict non-interventionist winemaking, fermentation is by native yeasts and done in and concrete vats, afterwhich the wine is aged for one year in large, untoasted oak barrels, before another 6 months in bottle. Rich in aromas of small red berries, black cherries and plums, wild herbs, and violets, with warmly integrated fine-grained, rounded tannins, a great balance of riper dark fruit with plenty of structure to support it, and an earthen tone that just feels Sicilian. Unfiltered and expressive, Ishac showcases remarkable concentration, balanced acidity, crystal-clear varietal character, and low alcohol –– hallmarks of all of Marco’s wines.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lucidity","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40783491235920,"sku":"210000006265","price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1016\/7695\/files\/PortaDelVentoIshac.jpg?v=1717788563"},{"product_id":"porta-del-vento-catarratto-2022","title":"Porta del Vento Catarratto 2022","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#000000\" style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eMid-weighted and wonderful textural, Porta del Vento's Catarratto hails from elderly bush vines planted high on the sandy plains looking down on nearby Palermo.
