Jk14 Bukkuram Passito Di Pantelleria

Each year the harvest reveals different sensations and potentials. In Pantelleria those are amplified. During the harvest, Marco De Bartoli often used to say that the essential ingredient for making his own passito was ‘the sun of August’, the month during which Zibibbo grapes are laid down for sun-drying. That is why Sole d’Agosto (the Sun of August) is the name given to the younger and lighter passito produced every year in Bukkuram’s vineyard

Wine-making: Harvest in the middle of August of a part of the grapes to start a sun-drying process of about 2 weeks, in suitable areas, delimited by dry walls made of volcanic stones. The remaining grapes go on maturing on the vines up to September for the making of the base wine that, after a fermentation with wild yeasts, is macerated for about three months with the sun-dried grapes that bring sugar and aromas.
