Fondo Antico is a family‑run winery in the Trapani area, built on deep respect for Sicilian land and the century‑long winemaking heritage of the Polizzotti‑Scuderi family. Across 80 hectares of vineyards in Contrada Portelli, tradition blends with innovation, resulting in wines that capture the strength, generosity and distinctive character of Sicily.

A raisin wine made from a blend of Grillo and Zibibbo grapes. The golden hue of the grapes, fully ripened on the vine, inspired its name “Baccadoro”. It recalls sunlight shimmering on lemon peel, with aromas of orange blossom and freshly picked citrus fruit. Its freshness, combined with great intensity, creates a remarkable contrast. A reminder of Sicilian passion… so sweet.
