Close your eyes for a moment and let yourself be caressed by the wind and warmed by the sun, breathe in the air that surrounds you, filled with scents: that of the sea, the Mediterranean vegetation, the earth. You cannot be mistaken... You are in Marsala, the “land of wine” where our Passito Naturale Zibibbo Terre Siciliane IGT is produced. No other Italian city can boast such a varied wine production. With wit and foresight, the English who landed there in the 1700s realized immediately that from the local grapes something very similar to Spanish and Portuguese fortified wines could be obtained: that wine which later became famous all over the world with the name “Marsala.” In this wine-rich land, in 1997 our three families of vintners decided to acquire the brand “Cantine Vinci,” producer of our Passito Naturale Zibibbo Terre Siciliane IGT, thus beginning a new adventure that saw them as architects of the transformation of their grapes into wines of constant and undisputed quality. Transitioning from simple growers to winemakers was not easy, but the experience passed down from father to son for several generations helped us understand which clusters to use to obtain the best quality wine like our Passito Naturale Zibibbo Terre Siciliane IGT, what the most suitable times for grape harvesting were, and which soils could best enhance the physiological and vegetative-productive properties of the various cultivars. Producing precious grapes has thus become the cornerstone from which to start producing wines of exceptional quality. Over time, the wisdom, the will to learn, and the goal of producing great wines like the Passito Naturale Zibibbo Terre Siciliane IGT have been recognized and awarded. Thus today, Cantine Vinci can boast important recognitions obtained for the production of wines that, once tasted, are difficult to forget. Characteristics: Grape variety: Zibibbo (100%). Production area: Agro marsalese. Training system: Espalier with Guyot pruning. Harvest period: August/September. Winemaking: In stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature (14/16°C), with the addition of dried grapes that are left to macerate on the must for over 3 months, to finally obtain a wine with an alcoholic component in perfect balance with its sugar content. Color: Intense golden yellow tending to amber. Aroma: Complex, intense, and persistent, where notes of ripe apricot and candied citrus join hints of dried figs, dates, and acacia honey. Taste: Sweet, full-bodied, harmonious, with great freshness and intensity, with a remarkable structure supported by a smooth and extraordinary final persistence. Alcohol content: 14.00% vol. Sugar content: 140 grams/liter. Wood aging: None. Bottling aging: Minimum 3 months. Pairing: Extraordinary dessert wine, it pairs perfectly with the dry and creamy products of Sicilian pastries, but also with artisanal fruit ice creams and fine Modica chocolate.

The Passito Naturale Zibibbo Terre Siciliane IGT uses only ripe grapes which, once harvested, are brought into a closed and dry place to “raisin,” meaning to dehydrate. This process concentrates acids and sugars in the must, making the final product very flavorful and sweet. Because of its distinctive taste, these wines are perfect to sip alongside dry almond or pistachio cookies, like our Agnuni Almond Cookies from Sicily.
