2009 Passito Pantelleria looks promising

Passito this year is looking very good.

The conditions were very good and the harvest abundant.

Fewer growers are producing this year.

Pantelleria suffers from being so small, without any economic or geographic strengths to reach a great market. Historically, Mafia-dominated banking and investment behavior has severely damaged the spirits of the local people. year by year, the production engages fewer families, as the sins and thefts and abuses of the past, by outsiders, has taken its toll.

However, we are hoping for an excpetional year.

We heard recently that "Trader Joes" in America sells a liter of "Passito Pantelleria" for $9. This is a lie, impossible. Trader Joe is a good company but they are either lying or the victims of fraud. Pay attention. Whatever Trader Joe is selling, it is not Passito from Pantelleria.
