I drive down a long dusty dirt road, with more than 120 s-curves between me and him, I arrive at my friend's house and he takes from his barell two liters of his passito. For me there is no question that his passito is the best. My opportunity to know him and have his passito on my table is a great treasure of my life on this island.
The winds have been very severe. A lot of damage was done to young grape plants all over the island. Thousands and thousands of euros and time lost. there seems to be no one collective official totals but it is and was a big hit by the wind. The island has many ridges and valleys, so some were not affected at all.
The 2008 availability of Passito for Pantelleria may be a little less but should I think remain around 85,000 liters. The price is up a few euro. If you can fin it, go ahead and pay.
It remains possible to contact us for orders of 1,000 bottles or more of Passito Pantelleria DOC, 2008.
Best regards.
