COUNTRY :

REGION :
Sicilia

PRODUCTION :

“Bbirbiciù” is an alternative and groundbreaking wine company founded in 2020 by young and courageous wine makers in the unique environment of the Island of Pantelleria, south of Sicilia.

It was inspired by the rediscovery and enhancement of ancient techniques that are disappearing: an agriculture using only manual work, without mechanical means, and that is linked to ancient traditions. This agriculture has always been able to produce and transform its own excellence, but has often not been adequately valued and protected. People here share common visions and perspectives: they do not make wine simply for the sheer pleasure of offering a good product ; they want this wine to be the medium that transmits the history and traditions of their ancient culture.
