This Passito di Pantelleria from the Sicilian Florio winery is made up with 100% Zibibbo grapes, grown in the vineyards on the island of Pantelleria. Immediately after the manual harvest in September, the overripe grapes are further left to dry in the sun. After pressing comes the must which then is left to ferment at a controlled temperature. The aging takes place in oak barriques and the refinement foresees at least 6 months in the bottle.
