The "Bukkuram Sole d'Agosto" Passito di Pantelleria is a celebration of the passion and dedication of renowned producer Marco De Bartoli to quality viticulture. This dessert wine is one of the purest and most refined expressions of the Zibibbo grape, cultivated on the volcanic island of Pantelleria.
The production process of "Bukkuram Sole d'Agosto" is meticulous and respects local traditions. The grapes are handpicked in late summer and, after being exposed to the Sicilian sun for a period of natural drying, are vinified with great care. The slow fermentation and maturation take place in steel containers to preserve all the characteristic aromas of the grape.
Visually, this dessert wine boasts an intense, bright, and enticing golden color. On the nose, it offers complex aromas of ripe fruit such as apricots, figs, and melons, accompanied by subtle hints of honey and oriental spices. On the palate, the wine is generously sweet yet surprisingly fresh, with a perfect balance between sweetness and acidity. The finesse of the taste is enhanced by nuances of candied citrus and a long aromatic persistence that invites another sip.
"Bukkuram Sole d'Agosto" is ideal as a meditation wine or paired with complex desserts, blue cheeses, or foie gras. It is also a magnificent accompaniment for special occasions, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication.
Ultimately, this dessert wine is not just a wine, but a work of art that tells the story and traditions of Pantelleria, paying homage to the ancient winemaking techniques of the island.
