96 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate -

This expression from Pantelleria shows a dark amber color with some darkened ruby highlights. The unoaked 2013 Passito di Pantelleria (in a tall and thin 375-milliliter bottle) is a precious wine made in extreme conditions with fruit laid out to dry in the sun and wind. The bouquet is evolved and oxidative in the most careful manner with brown sugar and maple syrup. The wine shows a rich, honey-like texture in the mouth. This wine is a splendor. Take me to Pantelleria now, with its black volcanic rock beaches and omnipresent caper bushes. Production numbers land between 4,000 and 5,000 bottles per year.

Get ready for your Sicilian epiphany (if you don’t already know this amazing producer).
Pantelleria is a gorgeous little island off the coast of Sicily that remains relatively undiscovered by tourists, mostly because it lacks sandy beaches. It is extremely windy so the Zibibbo vines are grown in holes (see the photos below!) to shield them from the mistral like gales that sweep across the island. “Zibibbo” is actually local dialect for Moscato di Pantelleria. The grapes are traditionally dried under the sun for about 2 weeks to concentrate sugars before pressing, fermentation and maturation is in stainless steel for just 6 months, finishing with extended bottle aging.
CRAZY limited. Free shipping on 6 half bottles! First come, first served…!
