Wine · PDO · 1 municipality
Recognised since 1973, the Pantelleria DOC in Sicily encompasses only nine verified producers on the island of Pantelleria. This denomination is defined by its reliance on the Zibibbo grape (Moscato d'Alessandria), which must comprise at least 85% of the blend. What distinguishes this island appellation from similar sweet wine regions is its strict labeling rules: despite producing complex, slow-maturing wines like Passito di Pantelleria—which requires a total minimum alcohol of 20% and a mandatory release date of 1 July the year after harvest—the term 'riserva' is explicitly forbidden on all labels.
