Carole Bouquet Sangue d'Oro Passito di Pantelleria 0.5L 2022

Carole Bouquet Sangue d'Oro Passito di Pantelleria is a distinctive sweet wine from the volcanic island of Pantelleria, celebrated for its concentration, perfume, and elegance. Made in a style that reflects one of Sicily’s most storied winemaking traditions, it offers an artisanal expression of island character with a refined, luminous profile.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a rich amber-gold hue with bright highlights. The nose is expressive and layered, often revealing dried apricot, candied citrus peel, honey, Mediterranean herbs, and a subtle saline, floral edge that speaks to its island origin. On the palate, it is luscious and textured, balancing sweetness with freshness and a mineral thread that keeps it lively rather than heavy. Flavors of dried fruit, orange marmalade, fig, and sweet spice linger on the finish. Thanks to its concentration and natural acidity, it should age gracefully for several years, developing even greater complexity over time.

Production
This Passito comes from Pantelleria, a windswept volcanic island where vines are shaped by intense sun, sea breezes, and mineral-rich soils. The grapes are typically harvested by hand and then partially dried to concentrate sugars and aromas before fermentation. The vinification aims to preserve the wine’s aromatic purity and balance the natural richness with freshness and precision.

Food & Serving
Serve slightly chilled, ideally around 10–12°C. It pairs beautifully with blue cheese, foie gras, almond-based desserts, dried fruit tarts, and classic Sicilian pastries such as cannoli or cassata. A brief decant can help open the aromas, especially in a younger vintage.

Producer
Carole Bouquet is closely associated with the revival and international recognition of Passito di Pantelleria. Her estate on the island has helped bring renewed attention to this traditional sweet wine style, combining respect for local heritage with a modern, elegant presentation. The wine has earned appreciation for its authenticity and its strong connection to Pantelleria’s unique winemaking identity.
