The 2018 (0.375) Passito Pantelleria by Ferrandes is a sweet white wine from Sicily, Italy. This wine is made from Zibibbo grapes grown in vineyards located 350 metres above sea level, in a volcanic area rich in minerals and silicates. The harvest is manual, with careful selection in the vineyard from mid-August to the end of September, and the grapes are dried in the sun for a period ranging from 8 to 15 days, following a traditional technique passed down through the centuries.
