DONNAFUGATA - KABIR Moscato di Pantelleria DOC 37,5 cl.
A very pleasant naturally sweet wine
Kabir, brilliant straw yellow with golden reflections, is characterized by a rich and fragrant bouquet with fruity scents of white peach, citrus zest (mandarin) and white flowers enriched by notes of aromatic herbs (sage and thyme). The palate is ample: we find the same scents combined with a fresh acid and mineral vein that balances the pleasant sweetness well. It finishes with good persistence.

Artistic label
From the Arabic term “The Great,” this is the name Donnafugata chose for its Moscato di Pantelleria, for its broad and noble perfumes. The label speaks the language of the island, expressing the colors, the freshness and the aromatic richness of Zibibbo. A label evoking the heroic soul of the viticulture of an island battered by wind and waves.
