1 BOTTLE OF 75cl.

Alcohol content: 15.5%

From the sunny island of Pantelleria come the grapes of Zighidì, a Passito fortified wine that concentrates all the essence of the aromas of the lush land from which it comes. The warm light of the Mediterranean Sea is preserved in its golden color, with intense amber reflections, and in the citrus aromas that it releases in the glass.

Excellent aperitif with liver pâté and foie gras. It goes well with desserts of dried fruit, jam and chocolate. Try it with… Pecorino with onion jam.
