"Sun of August" is the Passito sweet wine produced annually in the village of Bukkuram.

From this winery
  • Start up year: 1980
  • Oenologist: Renato e Sebastiano De Bartoli
  • Bottles produced: 120.000
  • Hectares: 18
Defying the conventions of the oenological market and betting with himself, Marco De Bartoli inaugurated his new production line in 1980, heedless of economic feedback, believing it a moral duty to uphold the traditional values of his land. Thus the first Vecchio Samperi wine was born. Later, De Bartoli reached Pantelleria intrigued by Moscato Passito, a product the market had alienated. Curiosity developed into a desire to master the science of growing Zibibbo grapes, which he could learn on Pantelleria. In part, the purpose was to convey the tradition of Pantelleria through the Bukkurum wine. This bottling took place, for the first time, in 1985. The following year, De Bartoli cold vinified the Zibibbo grapes, and other products took shape. Read more
