Donnafugata's Moscato Kabir is obtained from 100% Moscato di Alessandria grapes, also known as Zibibbo, grown on the beautiful island of Pantelleria, part of Western Sicily. The vineyards of origin insist on sandy soils of a lava nature, very rich in minerals and are located at an average altitude between 200 and 400 metres above sea level. Here the vines are cultivated with the ancient sapling system, inside real hollows, to protect the plants from the wind that always blows proudly on the island of Pantelleria. The attention to the extreme quality manifested itself starting from the vineyard where the yield per hectare was very low, equal to about 50-60 quintals per hectare. For this sweet nectar, the alcoholic fermentation took place in stainless steel at a controlled temperature of 14-16° C. Before being marketed, the wine was aged for 3 months in steel and finally for 3 months in the bottle.
