Presentation :
Sybil Baldassarre is an Italian oenologist based in Cabrerolles, in the Languedoc.
With several professional experiences, she found 3 hectares which allowed her to create her first vintage in 2015.
She strongly believes in white wines from the schist terroir of Faugères; she decided to produce only wines of this colour.
Despite the youthfulness of her wines, they have found their way to some of the most renowned restaurants.
Particularly sensitive to the vagaries of the climate, Sybil has begun, in the autumn of 2019, to work on the conservation of old white grape varieties, in collaboration with the Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique (INRA).
In short, Sybil makes superb natural whites at Faugères !
This Rocalhàs cuvée is superbly highlighted by the label designed by my friend Tudal, an artist in Pézenas (Blu Canari).

This white wine has long been famous in Italy. It seduces with silky acidity and deep minerality, lots of substance and admirable length.
Fatalone Gioia del Colle Primitivo
A rich, powerful and very pleasant wine; southern wine full of ripe fruit and sunshine. A wine made from the primitivo grape (zinfandel in California)
The fruity mouth offers suppleness and volume. The finish shows a light smoke characteristic of these volcanic soils.
