Knowing enchanted wineries like Abbazia San Giorgio reminds us why we love doing this job. Battista Belvisi hosts us in his vineyards of Kamma Alto, on the island of Pantelleria. This area is characterized by a volcanic soil and strong ventilation making it suitable for the cultivation of the sapling. Zibibbo is the undisputed protagonist here but also other varieties such as Nerello Mascalese give excellent results. Producing wine in this place takes us back in time: often the pressing of the grapes is still done by feet!
