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.

we are pleased to introduce Lulu, Fondo Antico’s first sparkling wine made using the Charmat method. Lulu is a sea‑inspired sparkling wine, evoking citrus aromas, Mediterranean scrub and white‑fleshed fruit. On the palate it is fresh and savory, with a lively perlage. A wave carried by the salty Sicilian wind. A wave to drink.
