Fondo
Antico
The estate of Fondo Antico is found on
the western edge of Sicilia, just a short trip north from
Marsala. This old property of the Polizzoti-Scuderi family
has long nourished indigenous varietals such as Nero d’Avola,
Grillo, and Inzolia. Today these vines are joined by the
international Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Merlot, and Chardonnay,
making a total of 90 hectares of vineyards. The cellar flaunts
all the most modern equipment, and most of the estate’s
wines spend time in French oak barriques. Every step of
their production is designed around the belief that “la
qualita del vino nasce gia nella vigna” – the
quality of wine is born already in the vineyard.
