SOLIDEA Sicily
On Pantelleria there is less and less truly artisan passito being produced, with producers buying grapes from all and sundry, and bottling the wines off the island. Done properly with care and attention in the vineyard, with long, slow and careful drying in the sun, Passito di Pantelleria has the capacity to be one of the world’s truly great sweet wines. Solidea use just such labour intensive (and expensive) methods, and as such their Passito di Pantelleria has beautiful depth, and aromas ranging from the classic apricots through candied peel, figs, caramel, toffee and honey. The Moscato is vibrantly grapey with bucket loads of fruit that manages to be refreshing alongside the intensity of the sweetness.
