Francesco got the wine bug at a young age, inspired by his grandfather while making wine with him. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHe already knew he wanted to be a vignaiolo aged 14yo, and left Pantelleria for Conegliano (Veneto) to study at the renowned agricultural and oenological boarding school. After years of research and jobs in wineries as well as oenology labs, he got a gig at the biodynamic estate Seresin in New Zealand. And it is there, on the other side of the world, that he felt the pull of his roots – Pantelleria’s magnetic force brought him back among his grandfather’s vines (2016). Francesco came back on a mission: reviving the old ways, upholding traditions and savoir-faire that have been devalued and lost – 6,000ha of vines in the 1960s and about 500ha in 2010, sadly most of them are in the hands of big brands these days.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eThis wine was made with grapes from abandoned vines that had not been pruned (called Kharci in the Pantelleria dialect, hence the name). There were ripe, overripe, and unripe grapes all at the same time. Three separate harvests were blended, attempting to create harmony. This is a unique edition because the plot is being re-cultivated (no longer abandoned), and this wine will be included in Soki Soki. 200 bottles were produced.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProducer \u003cstrong\u003e Tanca Nica of \u003cspan\u003eFrancesco Ferreri and Nicoletta Pecorelli\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eOrigin\u003cstrong\u003e Panteleria, Sicily, Italy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrapes\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eZibibbo \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVintage\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e2023\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlcohol  \u003cstrong\u003e12.5% ABV\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStyle\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMedium body macerated white\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBottle size \u003cstrong\u003e750ml\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWinemaking \u003cstrong\u003eManual harvested, macerated from 1 night to 1 week (different plots), gently pressed. Fermented with  indigenous yeast.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Aged on fine lees  in stainless steel and 6yo oak.
