Planeta’s Passito is the expression of our wish to produce modern wines which reflect the unique character of our lands. A very ancient wine which has been revived through a modern system of the passito process.

From the marvelous island of Pantelleria and from the best selection of Muscat of Alessandria grapes or Zibibbo here is an excellent sweet, light gold wine with an intense, elegant aroma. Ideal with dried fruit and as an after dinner wine

Picking at the end of August and the successive drying of the grapes give this sweet wine its characteristic golden colour with amber reflections. In its intense persistent aroma you can recognise hints of apricot honey and dried figs. Best with fruit flans and hard cheeses.

Description: Entelechia, pure nature-poured nectar, cannot be circumscribed by definition; it is unalloyed emotion, unexpected and enfolding. Entelechia captures the sense and enkindles the mind. The word, of Greek origin, means "the incarnation of what is potential". This wine, we believe, represents the optimal potential of Pantelleria's zibibbo grape. 

Passito di Pantelleria with an unmistakable aroma
Produced by Marco De Bartoli for the first time in 1984, Bukkuram, from the Arabic for "father of the vineyard", is an extraordinary Passito of Pantelleria. Obtained from Zibibbo grapes dried in the sun according to ancient tradition, Bukkuram is a natural sweet wine that Marco considered the nectar of the gods due to its sweetness.

Moscato di Pantelleria sweet wine
Kabir Donnafugata is a natural Sicilian sweet wine obtained from Zibibbo or Moscato di Alessandria grapes grown on alberello Pantesco, a "creative and sustainable" practice recognized as a UNESCO heritage site. It is an extremely pleasant aromatic wine, perfectly balanced between the sweet taste and the unusual salty and mineral nuances that make it unique.

Natural Passito Ecrù - Firriato Winery
The Ecrù is a natural sweet wine of unusual finesse, produced from Zibibbo grapes. The uniqueness of the L'Ecrù Passito is given by the method of infusing the raisin grapes into the wine, without prolonged, interrupted and distributed fermentation. The grapes in contact with the wine swell and release their aromas for a passito of incomparable balance. On the palate the aromatic notes of orange blossom and lemongrass manifest themselves and are delicately combined with the aroma of dates and orange peel.
