Passito: The Golden Wine of Pantelleria



The wine of Pantelleria.

These wines are very rare. These wines are hand-made. These wines are from the ancient history of the world.

Pantelleria is a tiny island in the Mediterranean Sea. The air is clean and sweet. There are no heavy industries. The grapes are raised on very small farms and harvested entirely by hand. The wines are made in small lots and sold in small lots.

This blog is a communication tool to help the english-speaking world learn about these exceptional Italian wines.

I am an American Indian who moved here two years ago after a chance visit arranged at the last minute by a friend of mine. I have fallen in love with the simple and pure life here, the sweet people and the exceptional wines and food that are our day to day treasures. I hope to find people with some soul, some imagination, people who may help us bring these fine and pure and magical products to the tables of the United States.

Here in this blog I hope to show you this magical island and tell you about its wines and its people.
