Wine has the power to tell stories, bring people together, and connect them with the essence of places. Today, we will talk about three places in Palermo where these elements blend in perfect harmony
Located at Via Alessandro Paternostro 87, in the heart of historic Palermo, just steps away from Corso Vittorio Emanuele and Piazza Borsa, this establishment, once a historic shop, stands out for its open and airy space, crafted with care — from the fabrics to the carpentry work. Here, the boundary between inside and outside seems to dissolve, creating a unique oasis compared to the surrounding venues, which are more focused on mixology and nightlife. Fabrizio and Giulietta, the warm hosts of Dal Barone, will welcome you among their few tables (reservation is highly recommended) and guide you in choosing the best natural wines, accompanied by platters of locally sourced products carefully selected from small producers. It’s a true journey through an authentic Sicily, free from industrial processing
Located at Via Monteleone 10, on the outskirts of the Olivella district, in a quiet street that connects Via Roma to the Teatro Massimo, this establishment is the perfect place to spend an evening enjoying natural wines, craft beers, and dishes prepared with local products. The discreet kindness of Angelo and Katia will accompany you in an experience of conviviality and good drinking in this hidden and welcoming corner in the heart of the city.
Located at Via Giuseppe La Farina 14, it is the wine shop of Prezzemolo & Vitale, the well-known Palermo supermarket chain that has made local and niche products its distinctive brand. Here, every wine and spirits wish can come true, thanks to Steve, the sommelier with a coppola, who tells the story of wine through various arts, from literature to music. In addition to serving and selling, Retrobottega has also become the stage for tastings dedicated to unconventional wines, allowing you to discover a vibrant and original production.
