The Passito di Pantelleria DOC "Bukkuram Sole d'Agosto" by Marco De Bartoli is a sublime expression of the winemaking tradition of Pantelleria, an island rich in charm and history in the heart of the Mediterranean. Made from the Zibibbo grape variety (Moscato d'Alessandria), this wine is the result of a careful selection of grapes dried under the vigorous August sun, which gives the wine intensity and aromatic complexity.

The drying process occurs naturally in dedicated outdoor areas where the grapes are left to dry for several weeks. Subsequently, fermentation takes place slowly in stainless steel containers to preserve all the natural aromas of the fruit. Finally, the wine matures for a short period in oak barrels to further round out its profile and add a subtle woody note.

Visually, "Bukkuram Sole d'Agosto" presents a deep and bright amber color. On the nose, it offers an intensely aromatic bouquet with standout notes of dried apricot, figs, dates, and honey, enriched by slight nuances of sweet spices and vanilla. On the palate, it is rich and enveloping, with a perfect balance between sweetness and acidity, leading to a persistent and satisfying finish, typical of the best dessert wines.

This wine is ideal for pairing with desserts like Sicilian cannoli or cassata, but it can also be an excellent companion for meditation alone or paired with blue cheeses. It certainly includes a complexity that invites a deeper analysis with each sip. A true treasure of Italian winemaking, the "Bukkuram Sole d'Agosto" represents a prestigious choice for any high-end assortment of sweet wines.
