The story

Production philosophy
Highlight the territory of Pantelleria and its indigenous grape varieties through careful vineyard management and production processes that enhance Zibibbo's aromatic characteristics, with a strong connection to local traditions and the production of the island's typical specialties.
Terroir and vineyards
The estate is located in Pantelleria. The island's vineyards are cultivated on sun-exposed terraces, often on volcanic and sandy soils; the vines are trained with the characteristic alberello pantesco to protect the plants from the wind and maximize temperature variation.
