Padre della Vigna straw wine - 2014

Bukkuram Padre della Vigna – Pantelleria passito DOC

Produced from pure Zibibbo grapes, harvested from 35-50 year old bush vines with very low yields, the Bukkuram Padre Della Vigna is a symbol of the harmony between structure, acidity and softness. In its production, half of the grapes are left to naturally dry in the sun, while the other half remains on the plant. Following spontaneous fermentation, the dried grapes are added to the wine and left to macerate for about three months. The ageing takes place for about 30 months in barrique and 6 months in steel before bottling.

The Bukkuram Padre Della Vigna stands out in the glass for its compact amber dress with golden hues. On the nose, it offers an olfactory impact of stunning intensity, a whirlwind of sultana, orange blossom, apricot, honey and white chocolate that transports those who approach it directly to the island of Pantelleria. On the palate, it is full and substantial, endowed with a soft and velvety tactility but capable of extending into a significant saline persistence. A true masterpiece.
