Giardino Pantesco is a liquid short holiday on Pantelleria – as golden as a last ray of sunshine at sunset, carried by the history and terroir of this magical island. The name refers to the "Giardini Panteschi", the centuries-old dry stone walls built in a round shape that intercept the wind and stabilise the microclimate for crops such as the gnarled Zibibbo vine. Those who savour this passito will feel the reverence for this landscape and tradition with every sip.

In the glass, it shines in deep gold with sparkling amber reflections – as if the sun were lingering in the drops. The fragrance opens with candied apricot, dried fig, orange jam and honey, carried by a warm hint of jasmine. The palate is as soft and sensual as the sands of Pantelleria: subtle sweetness, a savoury salty note, mineral tension and an impressive length. Giardino Pantesco gently seduces with finesse, history and origin. A sensual finish to a fine meal or a moment when the Sicilian evening sun simply lingers on the horizon. SUPERIORE.DE

"Candied oranges, lemon syrup, quince and ginger stalks on the nose. Honey-sweet, with notes of candied fruit and gingerbread in a luscious finish." James Suckling
