Bukkuram Sole d’Agosto 2021

Each year the harvest reveals different sensations and potentials. In Pantelleria those are amplified. During the harvest, Marco De Bartoli often used to say that the essential ingredient for making his own passito was ‘the sun of August’, the month during which Zibibbo grapes are laid down for sun-drying. That is why Sole d’Agosto (the Sun of August) is the name given to the younger and lighter passito produced every year in Bukkuram’s vineyard.

The character of the sun-dried grapes allow us to portray a territory, with perfumes and flavors that only this magical island can express. This is a young, crisp and fruity passito, less complex and structured than the traditional Bukkuram Padre della Vigna, and able to infuse pleasant sensations.
