The Corinto Nero, just as the Malvasia di Lipari, is a native vine of the volcanic Aeolian Islands. In this case it is pure and harvested form the vineyards on the island of Lipari, which are located in an old crater called Fossa del Monte (pit of the mountain).

One century year-old ungrafted plants (about half a hectare), and grafted plants (one hectare), give birth to this wine. The vineyards face south-west and are 300 meters above the sea level. This wine ages partly in oak barrels and partly in steel tanks for about one year. Tasting notes: Intense ruby color, red fruit flavors: cherry, blackberry, pomegranate, a hint of spices, elegant tannins. A balanced wine.

Pantelleria’s nature is as complex as Marco de Bartoli’s was. But he managed, in that wonderfully challenging terroir, to be the first to imagine that Zibibbo grapes could also successfully be vinified as a dry wine. Pietranera’s grapes are grown in the north-facing vineyards of Contrada Cufurà and Contrada Ghirlanda, and produce a dry wine with enviable mineral notes that are aromatic, intense and complex. It was 1989. This was the first time that such an aromatic, mineral grape variety as Zibibbo could express itself in a dry wine.

It is impressive from the appearance of a very dark amber color, impenetrable, very concentrated, with antique gold reflections.

Full, enveloping, very sweet taste, with an almost chewable consistency. In the final, very long, endless, the elegance of the product is exalted with a seductive balsamic sensation. This passito is the result of the vinification of the best selections of Zibibbo grapes subjected to long drying.

And so Cometa was born, expressing the best in an original and unique way, of the characteristics of this extraordinary vine. Intense and fruity aromas, its great structure and minerals today make it one of southern Italy’s points of reference for white wine. The harvest had been well prepared thanks to a cool spring, light rainfall (more or less 500mm with the last rain at the beginning of April) but well spaced. Ripening was slightly delayed, but the summer was very favourable until the end of July. At the beginning of August an African anticyclone brought three weeks of high temperatures without a pause. South-western Sicily was the region that suffered most of the heat, which was more intense than in the east. Thus it was necessary to bring the first part of the vintage forward and to give special attention to the harvest; the grapes in question were few but good.
