My name is Marilena Barbera and I am a biodynamic winegrower

I live and make my wines in Menfi, Sicily

I practice biodynamic agriculture and natural winemaking, and I am committed to being a witness and guardian of terroir, to preserving its integrity, to absorbing its strength and richness, trying to transfer its profound and fascinating spirit to my wines.

At the winery, I work only with spontaneous fermentations and non-invasive winemaking practices, in order to respect the unique personality of Sicilian native grape varieties.

The Snail is back!

I am very happy that once again Slow Wine has confirmed the Chiocciola (the Snail) to my winery.

The Chiocciola is awarded to wine producers who embrace the values of the Slow Food philosophy and offer wines with excellent value for money. Superior quality wines, driven by terroir and produced with great respect for the environment.

Among these, Ammàno #11 won the "Top Wine" and the "Vino Slow" awards.
Not much of this wine has been produced, and I imagine it will sell out soon.
If you want to taste it, now is the right time!

I make many wines, which are small pieces of a jigsaw puzzle that tells about Menfi and the wine culture of the places I love. I work with small vineyards, and with very low yields.
Each wine is produced in a limited number of bottles, based on the production of each vineyard.
