THE WINE
The Terre Siciliane Bianco IGT 'L'Isola' by Hibiscus is made from catarratto and inzolia grapes that grow on the island of Ustica, from volcanic soils and vineyards that are practically at sea level. A summer and cheerful wine, it tastes of the south, the sea, warmth, sun, and island, perfect for enjoying the vacation or savoring it at home.
THE COMPANY
The Hibiscus farm is the only wine producer in the Ustica area. Of volcanic origin, the island of Ustica is located north of the Palermo coast and has hosted one of the first Marine Reserves in Italy since 1982.
Founded by Nicola Longo in the 1980s, Hibiscus is now managed by Margherita Longo and her partner Vito Barbera and spans about 10 hectares, in various areas to the north of the island, about 200 meters from the sea. The company, starting from indigenous vineyards such as inzolia, catarratto, grillo, and nero d'avola, produces wines that are a result of the island's environmental vocation, strongly influenced by the proximity to the sea and a volcanic territory exposed to sun and wind. The flagship product of Hibiscus is Zhabib, a passito made from zibibbo, born from Margherita's desire to challenge herself with a passito different from the universally known one from Pantelleria; a wine that differentiates itself by its cultivation method and for a good acidity given by a lower residual sugar compared to standard production, Zhabib evokes in a sip all the heterogeneity and beauty of the Ustica island territory. The company, using certified organic methods, is also dedicated to the cultivation of Ustica lentils, which have been a Slow Food presidium for almost 15 years, and in Trapani, on the hills between Erice and Valderice, where it owns a small olive grove, produces oil with very intense aromas, typical of the varieties of olives used, which boasts the D.O.P. Valli Trapanesi designation.
Margherita Longo, driven like many winemakers from our islands by a strong visionary nature, is committed with all her productions to reviving interest in the Ustica territory and its raw materials; the company, focusing on the continuity of quality rather than quantity, demonstrates rigor, respect for winemaking tradition, and gratitude towards the island environment, which has so much to offer.
