Donnafugata Kabir Moscato di Pantelleria

The Kabir is a dessert wine made from Zibibbo grapes, a local name for Muscat de Alexandria. The vines grow on a sandy soil created from lava, at an altitude of 20 -400 meters above sea level.
The wine is made from very sugar-rich grapes, which leaves a high level of residual sugar after fermentation. The fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks at a temperature of 14-16°C. The wine is aged in tanks for 4 months and then another 4 months in the bottle before being released to the market.

A bright straw yellow color with golden reflections. The Kabir is characterized by a rich and fragrant bouquet with scents of ripe nectarines in combination with the floral notes of orange blossom. The bouquet is perfectly mirrored in the mouth with a fresh, mineral touch which provides a good balance with the pleasant sweetness. A nice persistent finish that reveals hints of pepper and nutmeg.

This wine goes perfectly with savory cheeses, fruit salad and baked desserts.

Kabir is the Arabic name for "the Great". The grapes for this wine come from the volcanic island of Pantellaria. The label reflects the island's continuous battle against strong winds and high waves.
