Known as the Black Pearl of the Mediterranean, Pantelleria is a volcanic island located between Sicily and Africa. Africa is so close, on a clear day you can see Tunisia. The island is rugged and beautiful with a rich winemaking history and no shortage of 100+ year-old-vines of Zibibbo, an ancient grape variety. A fine example of heroic viticulture, because of the windy climate and rough terrain, vines on Pantelleria are bush trained on small terraces and protected by lava stone walls.
