The Barracco Company is a Sicilian natural wine producer in Mazara del Vallo close to Trapani, it is divided on two districts of Mazara Del Vallo (district Roccazzo and Minneno). The Company was born by the union of two historical families , producers of wine, since the 18th century, the Barracco and the Maiale family. To making natural wine the Vigneron at now uses about 4/5 hectares of vineyerards. The vineyards are low yield about 30-50 quintal for hectare not more. Roberto Bruno , son of Francesca , in 2012, realized his dream to make the Company rise again, but with a different approce to the past tradition. Inspired by the many fairs , to which he personaly participated, Roberto decided to produce a wine with a specific identity of his own territory. Along with Ennio, the agronomist came to life a “natural” white wine. Although the company is already in a biological regime , since the 90’s, One of the First in the area of Trapani, interventions in the vineyard are limited to the very necessary, the use of sulfur and Cooper is reduced to the minimum quantities and only when the conditions requir It. Above all Roberto has recreated that biodiversity and ecosystem of flora and fauna that allows the grapevine to assorbe nourishment spontaneously and to defend itself, when necessary, in a completely natural way. The same philosopy is applied during the vinification , where the fermentation of the grapes take place spontaneously through the yeasts that are naturally present in the wine. Only minor manual interventations by man follow , as transfers and replacements , making reference to the calender of Thun which studies the phases of the Moon , position and movements of the planets that, as It is knowed, influence the coltivation of the grapevine plants and the phases of vinification. The use of chemical or agents are excluded and and also the use of sulfur dioxid is limited to the minimum befor bottiling (20-30mg/l). Barracco Francesca is also associated with VinNatur
