I\u2019ve read a lot about <strong>great Italian wines<\/strong> on this blog but practically all of them are made using grapes. It\u2019s the one thing that I\u2019d know about wine, even if I didn\u2019t know anything else!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And you\u2019re right! The vast,&nbsp;<em>vast<\/em>&nbsp;majority of wines are made using grapes. However, there is a very small subsection of wines that are made using other fruits and raisin wine is one of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But let\u2019s back track for a moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Raisin wine isn\u2019t something that any old producer just decided to experiment with. These are wines that require a specific method to make and require great talent on the part of the producer. And as strange as it may sound, these types of wine are more common than you might think!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there is one region that\u2019s perhaps better known for these wines than any other in Italy. And to explain why, we need to take you to a commune that\u2019s located a little way away from the beautiful island of Sicily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Entering Pantelleria<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For those who\u2019ve kept track of the Italian wine industry over the last few decades, you will know that Sicily has something of a mixed reputation when it comes to the quality of its wines. For years, the island was revered for producing some of the most unique wines available. However, it also went through a period where mass-produced table wines were pretty much all that came from it, which led to it gaining a poor reputation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A lot of great producers have done amazing work to repair some of the damage done in more recent years.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But even when Sicily was labouring under this bad reputation, we still had unique wines coming to us from the commune of Pantelleria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pantelleria isn\u2019t a part of the main island of Sicily itself. Instead, it\u2019s a small island located in the Strait of Sicily that is counted as belonging to the Sicilian province of Trapani. Interestingly, the island may actually be closer to Tunisia than it is to the Italian mainland, so much so that on very clear days you can actually see the coast of Tunisia from the island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At 32 square miles, it\u2019s a fairly small island by regular standards. However, what sets Pantelleria apart from other islands is that it\u2019s volcanic! Thankfully, the island hasn\u2019t experienced an eruption since 1891, and even that one was underwater. Still, these volcanic origins are still seen in the hot springs that dot the island, as well as the very unique soil that helps to make it a wonderful place to grow grapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So why, then, is it raisin wine that this island is most famous for?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, you may be surprised to find that raisin wine is more common than you think. In fact, there\u2019s a name that\u2019s shared by a number of wines that fall into this category\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Introducing Passito<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/en\/wines\/sicily-sweet-moscato-di-pantelleria-passito-di-pantelleria-e-pantelleria-doc\/14+266+560\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (apre in una nuova scheda)\">You might read the word Passito and assume that we\u2019re about to tell you about a specific variety of wine.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s not the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Passito is a blanket term that refers to any wine that\u2019s made using raisins. And as we mentioned earlier on, these wines are actually more common than you might think. Perhaps the most famous of them is Amarone, which is made using the Passito method. This smooth Italian red wine is a jot to drink and it\u2019s made using raisins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, here\u2019s where some of the more astute among you have already clocked onto something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re talking about raisins here as though they\u2019re some sort of individual fruit. However, any lover of raisins will tell you that they\u2019re simply dried out grapes. And now that you know that, the mystery as to how you can make great wines using this fruit start to unfurl!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s not to say that it\u2019s easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to their nature, raisins are even sweeter than regular grapes, which means that producers need to account for the extra sugar when making their wines. This, incidentally, is why Amarone is something of an outlier in the Passito family. While that wine is a smooth red, most wines made under the Passito umbrella are actually sweet wines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that brings is right back to the commune of Pantelleria.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Many Influences on the Pantelleria Wines<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s an interesting story behind the wines produced in this commune, as they were not really well known to the world for many centuries. Like many wines made in communes, they were originally kept for the locals to enjoy, often as part of religious ceremony. It was not until 1880 that the Passito wines of this island started to receive some recognition outside of the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That may sound like a long time ago. But when you put it into the context of other famous Italian wines, it\u2019s actually a fairly short amount of time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given the island\u2019s proximity to Tunisia, it is perhaps unsurprising that there\u2019s an Arabic influence to mention here as well. It was from this culture that the Zibibbo grape came, which is a grape that\u2019s rarely used in Italian wine production. And it\u2019s this grape that the residents of Pantelleria use to make their Passito wines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take Passito di Pantelleria as an example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a wine that\u2019s unique in almost every way. Sweet, tasty, and almost a dessert unto itself, we recommend it as a drink to follow a rich meal, especially if you have a sweet tooth. This wine is made using the Passito method, which involves picking the grapes and laying them on straw mats to allow them to dry out. This is how we end up with the raisins that are made to use the wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s only once they\u2019ve finished drying out that they\u2019re crushed and placed into the fermentation processes. The result here is that you have more concentrated sugars that create interesting aromas of honey, marmalade, toffee, and cake.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s nothing quite like a Passito wine from Pantelleria!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re searching for something a little different from regular Italian wines, give Passito di Pantelleria a try. You may just find something that makes you fall in love with this unique raisin wine.<\/p>\n<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We already know what you\u2019re thinking\u2026 \u201cRaisin wines?
