The Barracco Francesca farm has vineyards and olive groves in Mazara del Vallo, in the province of Trapani, while the administrative headquarters are in Palermo. The grape varieties present are: ansonica or insolia, common white catarratto, chardonnay, grillo, Tuscan Trebbiano, Nero d'Avola, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The age of the vines varies from a few years up to about 50 of the older ones, which make up most of the vineyard. The company has been under organic farming since the early 90s. Historically, the company was born from the union of two families, Maiale and Barracco, from which the properties of the Contrada Minneno and Roccazzo derive respectively. Since the early nineteenth century, the Maiale family produced wine and above all Marsala "garibaldi" quality. However, the winemaking activity was interrupted in the early 1900s, and the grapes produced began to be entirely transferred to the cooperative cellars from then on. To date, the company is managed by Mrs. Francesca Barracco together with her three grandchildren Laura, Franco and Silvia Barracco, all co-owners of the land and managed by Roberto Bruno, son of Mrs. Francesca. The latter in 2012 moved from Milan, where he practiced as a business lawyer, to Palermo to take care of the family's vineyards. The passion for wine leads Roberto to meditate on resuming the ancient family tradition of winemaking. The idea of producing the first "Barracco" wine was born in 2016 when Roberto Bruno came into contact with the world of natural wine, being fascinated by it and collaborating with the agronomist Ennio Gugliotta, current consultant of the company. And this is how we return to manually perform each phase of cultivation, from pruning to harvesting and during winemaking, we refrain from using any chemical substance, relying exclusively on attention and care during fermentation and the subsequent phases of transformation of grapes into wine. The product obtained is, therefore, a natural wine, a typical expression of a territory, the result of a careful selection of the vineyards, derived from the spontaneous fermentation of the selected grapes without any type of addition of chemical substances, in full respect of nature and the vineyard. and, at the same time, of the consumer, as the producer wants. The Barracco farm is part of the VinNatur association.
