These sites sit on volcanic soils that bring a distinct mineral edge and tension to the wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMarco de Bartoli first produced Pietra Nera in 1989, at a time when Zibibbo was still overwhelmingly associated with sweet or fortified styles. It was a quiet but important shift: showing that one of Pantelleria’s most aromatic grapes could also speak clearly in a dry, structured form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2024 continues that idea. Orange blossom, apricot and mandarin sit alongside jasmine, citrus peel and a saline, almost iodine-like mineral note. The fruit is expressive but controlled, shaped by wind, altitude and the island’s volcanic soils rather than ripeness alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the palate it is dry, precise and lightly textural. There is aromatic intensity, but also a clear mineral spine that keeps everything linear. The finish is clean and persistent, with citrus and floral notes fading into a faint salty edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA landmark dry Zibibbo from Pantelleria, built on the idea that aromatic grapes can also be defined by structure, tension and place rather than sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"appellance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50341038129345,"sku":null,"price":102.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0843\/3428\/0897\/files\/Marco_de_Bartoli_Pietra_Nera_Zibibbo_2024.webp?v=1781702085","url":"https:\/\/appellance.com\/products\/marco-de-bartoli-pietra-nera-zibibbo-2024","provider":"Appellance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
