Kabir Moscato di Panteleria DOC

Terroir and wine-making

The vineyards cultivated with Zibibbo or Moscato di Alessandria that grow on the island of Pantelleria are raised in a Pantesco tree, a type of crop recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Once harvested, these intensely yellow fruits are fermented in steel at a temperature of 14-16° C. The wine ages for 3 months in the tank and 5 months in the bottle, after which it is ready to bring the color of the warm Sicilian sun into the glass.

Notes of taste

The Moscato di Pantelleria DOC Kabir Donnafugata has a bright straw yellow color enhanced by golden reflections. The nose is intrigued by rich hints of tropical fruit and orange peel, with notes of zagara and mineral nuances of flint. On the palate it releases a flavor perfectly in line with its bouquet, sprinkled with a subtle acidic vein balanced by remarkable sweetness.

Wine at the table

The Zibibbo Kabir of Donnafugata brings to the table the solality of the Sicilian lands that enhances dishes of various kinds ranging from anchovies to goat cheese, including ice cream and fruit desserts. The recommended service temperature is 12°C.

Curiosity

Given the breadth and nobility of the aromas of its Moscato di Pantelleria, Donnafugata decided to call this wine 'Kabir' which in Arabic means 'il Grande'.
