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 new Extra Virgin Olive Oil is now available!

From our Nocellara del Belìce olives, harvested from the small Sottostrada olive grove, Sikele 2024 is finally available!

The olives are hand-picked, quickly milled, and cold-pressed to preserve their aromas and nutrients. Sikele decants in stainless steel tanks, creating a textured, vibrant green olive oil. Medium fruity and fragrant, it offers a delicate bitterness, a long peppery finish, and balanced notes of green tomato, artichoke, citrus, and almonds.

Two options available: 50 cl bottle and 3-liter tin.

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.
