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.

“Bello mio” is the name of a fragrant wine, vibrant yet delicate, with the gentle scent of orange blossoms. An aromatic, captivating and delicate wine obtained from the indigenous aromatic grape variety Zibibbo. Designed to be enjoyed on any occasion and in any season, it is our welcome from the island — born from the study of Sicilian native varieties. It carries the scent of boulevards lined with bitter orange trees, the sweetness of orange blossom, and the salinity of the sea. Sicily’s essence in a glass.
