Why choose it
Favinia Passulé, from Zibibbo grapes, an aromatic variety par excellence, is the natural passito with the infusion method, an expression of vineyards cultivated in the coastal area. The result is a wine with an organoleptic profile with balsamic tones that delicately balance the savoury scents. Zibibbo grapes, an aromatic variety endemic to western Sicily, are characterised by citrus notes and fragrances reminiscent of prickly pears and dates. This peculiar vine, grown in this specific terroir, tends to thicken the skin which is functional in ensuring the drying of the grapes. The marine influence is noticeable from the first sip, where the intense aroma of Zibibbo interacts well with the iodine and Mediterranean scrub notes.
