Sending all of you my heartfelt wishes for the New Year that has just begun!
I know that, like me, you carry a piece of Pantelleria in your heart, so with this you can download a little memory to keep with you throughout the year, my 2022 calendar.
If among your dreams for 2022 there is one that speaks of sunrise over the sea, of the lighthouse sparkling across the bay on a clear night, of scents and sand brought by the sirocco winds, come back to us!
Because not always dreams are better than reality….
Desire of Pantelleria? Here we are!
Pantelleria, island of wine
For its incredible soil and climate characteristics, Pantelleria has developed its own particular agricultural style over the last few centuries.
Among the main crops of the island, the grapevine stands out, masterfully trained as an “alberello” sapling — so much so that in 2014, it was recognized by UNESCO as one of the intangible assets of humanity “Beni immateriali dell’umanità” for its historical and cultural values.
The landscape of our island is in fact strongly modeled by the way vineyards are cultivated in layered terraces overlooking the sea. To protect the vines from the wind, winemakers cultivate their vines very low to the ground, sheltered in soil basins that can eventually retain moisture for the plant.
The main grape varietal cultivated on the island is the Zibibbo also known as Moscato d’Alessandria, an aromatic variety of Arab origin from which the passito di Pantelleria is created and excellent white wines are also produced.
Zibibbo can be eaten as a freshly picked fruit, dried into raisins or made into wine.
From August 17-22, the DOC Pantelleria consortium celebrates this incredible combination of humans and nature by opening the cantinas and winecellars of the island for visits and tastings.
We are waiting for you (with a glass of wine!) in our Dammusi.
The most beautiful sea in Sicily
In a recent article of “la Republica” newspaper, they note that “The island of Pantelleria is among the top 15 Italian places to go on holiday according to Italy’s Legambiente and Touring Club.”
The Five Sails medal is given to beaches and districts of Italy that have distinguished themselves for their attention to the environment and cultural and food and wine excellence.
What are you waiting for? Come and visit us in our Dammusi!
Pantelleria, the perfect social distancing island
We still live with the uncertainty of what the rules for this summer will be, but surely many of us really need a holiday. We need to breathe the sea air, to get lost in the horizon in front of us, to dive into the immense blue.
That’s why Pantelleria is the island that’s right for us. A large and incredibly varied island, characterized by black cliffs, crystal clear sea, enchanting landscapes such as the nearby Lake of Venus and the countless paths that climb the Montagna Grande for all types of trekking.
In Pantelleria, with a span of 80 square km, we will certainly not have to struggle to respect the distance they ask us to maintain. Just take refuge in a dammuso facing the sea and enjoy this well-deserved relaxation.
As Green Planet News suggests, Pantelleria is the island of slow tourism, never too crowded, where daily life has a different rhythm from the rest of the world. That’s the pace we all need this year.
