Discover why Passito di Pantelleria is one of Italy's most extraordinary wines—a liquid expression of sun, wind, and volcanic rock. Helen describes drinking it as "holding a Mediterranean sunset in your glass," and in this episode you'll find out exactly why.

We explore the ancient Zibibbo grape, the heroic sun-drying tradition that shapes every bottle, and the rugged island landscape that makes this wine unlike any other. You'll also learn how to serve Passito in surprising ways, from classic sweet pairings to bold savory combinations that reveal an entirely new side of this luminous island wine.
