More questions
Passito di Pantelleria DOC 50cl - Florio is born on the volcanic island of Pantelleria, where the Zibibbo grape, also known as Moscato di Alessandria, expresses its full aromatic-floral power. The grapes, harvested late and dried on racks in the sun, give the wine a natural sweetness balanced by a fresh acidity, making it elegant and harmonious.
In the glass, it shows an intense golden color, while on the nose it releases aromas of dried apricot, dried figs, candied citrus, and honeyed notes. On the palate, it is enveloping, with a perfect balance between sweetness and freshness, accompanied by a savory and persistent aftertaste that invites the next sip.
Ideal paired with rich desserts and blue cheeses, this passito encapsulates the essence of the Pantelleria territory, a unique blend of tradition and nature in the Italian wine landscape.

The story
Cantine Florio was founded by Vincenzo Florio in 1833 in Marsala. During the 19th century the company established itself as a reference for the production and ageing of Marsala, developing cellar infrastructure with tuff floors and many oak vessels. The company's history is closely linked to the evolution of Marsala DOC and the winemaking traditions of the area.
Ageing
Ageing in oak casks with durations differentiated by category (e.g. Marsala Vergine at least 5 years, Vergine Riserva at least 10; Superiore at least 2 years, Superiore Riserva at least 4). Amaro della Compagnia is aged in wood for at least 18 months. The different climate‑conditioned naves on tuff floors influence organoleptic development.
