100% Zibibbo. Mainly from 35-50-year-old, bush-trained vines, grown very low to the ground on very light, sandy, brown, volcanic soils in the walled and windy clos of the De Bartoli’s small Bukkuram estate on the island of Pantelleria. Two dried-grape passito wines, Sole di Agosto and Padre della Vigna, come from this vineyard, which is organically farmed and harvested by hand. The harvest takes place in two stages. The first is in mid-August—in a normal vintage, these bunches are dried on mats in the sun for two weeks. The second harvest is several weeks later. This riper fruit is direct-pressed and spontaneously fermented; the sun-dried bunches are then destemmed and added to the fresh wine for a three-month maceration. That wine is aged for six months in oak barrels and released as “Sole di Agosto” or “Sun of August”, a light, fresh style of sweet wine of around 180 grams/liter of residual sugar. In very special vintages, De Bartoli makes the rare “Padre della Vigna” (”Father of the Vineyard”) instead: the first-harvest fruit is dried in the sun for a minimum of four weeks before being added to the young base wine for three months of maceration. This wine is aged for a minimum of three years, and often much longer, in barrel. It usually comes in around 200 grams/liter RS and is a much more complex expression of Zibibbo. Generally speaking, only one or the other of the two passitos is made in a vintage.

Region: Sicily

The island of Sicily is one of those wine regions which seems to be designed for the production of quality wines. Not only does it have extremely fertile soils, helped by volcanic activity of such peaks as Etna, but the climate is absolutely ideal for the ripening of beautiful grape varietals, with almost year-round sunshine and cooling sea breezes. Sicily has been using such factors for growing grapevines for thousands of years, and is a truly ancient wine region steeped in tradition. Wineries on the island make a wide variety of wines, which are much loved for their ability to express plenty of exciting fruit flavors and sunny, tempting aromas, but Sicily is most well known for the dessert and fortified wines based around the port town of Marsala.

Country: Italy

Italy is recognised as being one of the finest wine producing countries in the world, and it isn't difficult to see why. With a vast amount of land across the country used primarily for vineyard cultivation and wine production, each region of Italy manages to produce a wide range of excellent quality wines, each representative of the region it is produced in. Any lover of Italian wines will be able to tell you of the variety the country produces, from the deliciously astringent and alpine-fresh wines of the northern borders, to the deliciously jammy and fruit-forward wines of the south and the Italian islands. Regions such as Barolo are frequently compared with Bordeaux and Burgundy in France, as their oak aged red wines have all the complexity and earthy, spicy excellence of some of the finest wines in the world, and the sparkling wines of Asti and elsewhere in Italy can easily challenge and often exceed the high standards put forward by Champagne. Thanks to excellent terrain and climatic conditions, Italy has long since proven itself a major player in the world of wines, and long may this dedication to quality and excellence continue.
