These luscious passito styles made from Zibibbo are widely regarded as Italy’s finest sweet wines. They are produced on the tiny, volcanic island of Pantelleria which lies 100km southwest of Sicily and 60km east of the Tunisia. Here viticulture has been practiced for 2,500 years and incredibly the method remains virtually unchanged. To provide shelter from island’s high winds the vines are head trained into bush vines and grown in small hollows in the soil known as ‘Conca’. The vineyard is then encircled by a dry stone wall made from the island’s black volcanic rock. This ancient practice received UNESCO world heritage status in 2014. Pellegrino have invested heavily in viticulture on the island, building a state of the art winery at great expense in 1992. Today they are responsible for 80% of all the grapes produced on Pantelleria.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sicily Italy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57771005116800,"sku":"15229","price":17.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.grapesmith.co.uk\/products\/pellegrino-passito-pantelleria-liquoroso","provider":"Grape Smith","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
