Moscato di Pantelleria

Moscato di Pantelleria is an oenological treasure that captures the luminous essence of the black pearl of the Mediterranean. This sweet wine, famous worldwide for its extraordinary aroma, comes from the small but powerful Zibibbo grape, cultivated on the island of Pantelleria, a place where centuries-old vineyards overlook the sea, caressed by warm and salty winds.

The history of Moscato di Pantelleria is intertwined with that of the populations who have inhabited the island, from the Phoenicians to the Arabs, who enriched cultivation and winemaking techniques. The Zibibbo grape, whose name derives from the Arabic "zabib," meaning raisin, is the basis of this precious wine. Harvested manually in the summer months, the grape undergoes a sun-drying process that concentrates sugars and aromas, giving the wine its typical sweetness and aromatic complexity.

Moscato di Pantelleria stands out for its unmistakable organoleptic profile: in the glass, it presents itself with a golden and brilliant appearance, a prelude to a rich and seductive olfactory bouquet. On the nose, it releases intense scents of dried apricot, candied citrus, honey, and orange blossoms, accompanied by hints of Mediterranean herbs and sweet spices. On the palate, it reveals a velvety and enveloping body, balanced by a pleasant freshness and a long persistence that echoes the fruity and honeyed notes perceived on the nose.

Produced in the picturesque "calanchi lands" of Pantelleria, Moscato represents a perfect balance between sweetness and acidity, making it an ideal companion for dry pastries, almond-based desserts, or blue cheeses. Yet, its versatility is also expressed in bolder pairings, such as with foie gras or shellfish dishes.
