THE WINE
'Onde di Sole' by Hibiscus is made from Grillo grapes that grow on the island of Ustica, from volcanic soils and vineyards that are practically at sea level. Intense notes of ancient apple and Cantaloupe melon, with hints of mandarin peel and thyme emerging at the end. Good body. Evident freshness and a sapidity that evokes the sea.
THE COMPANY
The agricultural company Hibiscus 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 Italy's first Marine Reserves 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 districts in the northern part of the island, about 200 meters from the sea. The company, starting from native vineyards like inzolia, catarratto, grillo, and nero d'avola, produces wines that reflect the vocation of the island environment, strongly influenced by the proximity to the sea and a volcanic territory beaten by sun and wind. The flagship product of Hibiscus is Zhabib, a passito of zibibbo, born from Margherita's desire to challenge herself with a passito different from the universally known one from Pantelleria; a wine that differs in its cultivation system and for its good acidity due to a lower sugar residue compared to standard production, Zhabib evokes in a sip all the heterogeneity and beauty of the island territory of Ustica. The company, using certified organic methods, also dedicates itself 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 has a small olive grove, produces an oil with very intense aromas, typical of the olive varieties used, which boasts the D.O.P. Valli Trapanesi designation.
Margherita Longo, guided like many winemakers from our islands by a strong visionary nature, is committed with all her productions to relaunch 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.
