Description
Aromatic sweet white passito from Pantelleria DOC, 14% ABV, produced by Marco De Bartoli. 100% Zibibbo, a grape variety that best expresses its aromatic qualities in this unique territory. 0.75 L bottle, 2022 vintage. A wine born from the passion and expertise of Marco De Bartoli, a pioneer of Sicilian viticulture. The grapes are dried in the sun for at least two weeks, then fermented and aged for 12 months in French oak barrels and 6 months in stainless steel tanks. The result is a enchanting passito. The aroma is intense, with hints of raisins and honey, typical of Zibibbo. A wine that tells the story of a territory and a producer whose hallmark is quality.

Marco De Bartoli has signs of these every day fights, but he has won against all odds, with the tenacious, stubborn conviction of being right, and in order to demonstrate it, he speaks a lot, as it is common in Sicily, not to speak about himself, but to allow me to drink: here it is his greatest evidence.
Today he has a family of which he is proud of: Renato and Sebastiano, sons, are quite adults, while Josephine, the younger daughter, inherited the name of his great-grandmother, of French origins. Read more
