Region: Santa Ninfa, Trapani, Sicily, Italy
Grapes: Nero d'Avola
Body: Light
Notes: Deep salmon and wildly aromatic. Sun-dried strawberry, blood orange, dried rose petal, and a hint of Mediterranean herbs with a dry, mineral, sea-salted finish. Sicily in a glass — warm, bold, and completely alive.
Pairing: Grilled swordfish, tuna crudo, arancini, burrata, cured meats, or a long Sicilian lunch in the sun.
Funaro Rosato is produced by Cantina Funaro at their family estate in Santa Ninfa, in the Belice Valley of western Sicily — a stunningly beautiful agricultural landscape at the foot of the Sicani Mountains in the Trapani province. The Funaro family has been farming their vineyards on the mineral-rich clay and limestone soils of this remote corner of Sicily for generations, combining deep local knowledge with a genuine passion for expressing the character of their land. The Rosato is made from indigenous Sicilian red varieties given a brief skin contact to extract the grape's characteristic deep color and intense Mediterranean aromatics before pressing and fermenting at cool temperatures to preserve freshness. Zero unnecessary additions, bottled to capture the vitality of the vintage. Reviews of estate visits describe a family operation of warmth, generosity, and total commitment — and all of that comes through in the bottle.

What is natural wine?
Natural wine is wine made with minimal intervention from the winemaker, using organically or biodynamically grown grapes and without the addition of chemicals or additives such as sulfites. The result is a wine that is unique, expressive, and often has a more complex and nuanced flavor profile than conventional wines. Natural wine is also often associated with sustainable and ethical farming practices, making it a popular choice for those interested in environmentally friendly and socially responsible products.
