About us
“My journey began in 2004, driven by the desire to create wines that reflect the unique character of our native grape varieties and the land itself. With a deep passion for winemaking, I’ve drawn inspiration from my family’s agricultural heritage and the winemaking tradition of Marsala. Each day, I immerse myself in every stage of production, from cultivating the vines to crafting the wine, from bottling to selecting the grape varieties. My idea is not to create a perfect wine, but a wine that pours emotions. The only boundaries I work within are those of respect for nature and the land. With each vintage, I embrace research, experimentation, and innovation, while still honouring the legacy of what we’ve achieved in the past. Through my wines, I aim to highlight the special connection between grape variety and terroir. Our mission is to capture the essence of Sicily, particularly the Marsala region, by reviving the culture and tradition of producing wine exclusively from our own grapes.”

Our farm
The Azienda Agricola Barraco is located in Marsala, where the sea breeze and the vines are part of everyday life. We grow native Sicilian grapes with care and dedication, making wines that speak of our land and its traditions.
We're the only ones who produce Altogrado, an oxidative wine that shows our approach, our roots, and our choice to make wine using only grapes — nothing else.
