Soki Soki is 100% Zibibbo (Muscat of Alexandria) sourced from multiple plots of 80-plus-year-old bush vines trained in the traditional alberello Pantesco style across several contradas of Pantelleria. The name refers directly to the soil: in Pantesco dialect, "soki soki" means soil rich in sand and pumice, the frothy volcanic rock that defines much of the island's terrain. Grapes from the different parcels are hand-harvested and vinified separately, with skin maceration lasting anywhere from one night to one week depending on ripeness and skin thickness. The lots are blended only at bottling.
The 2020 vintage saw low yields on Pantelleria, which brought added concentration and intensity to the wine. After maceration, the wine was aged on fine lees in a combination of six-year-old oak barrels and stainless steel. It was bottled with the addition of 15% "riserva perpetua" — a perpetual reserve blend started in 2017 — and a minimal 15 mg/L total SO2. Unfined and unfiltered.
On the nose: fragrant and almost medicinal, with Mediterranean herbs, orange zest, apricot, and green mango. The palate shows texture and tension in equal measure, with tropical fruit, kumquat, and fennel, anchored by a sandy, saline minerality. The finish is long and mouthwatering.
Classified as Terre Siciliane IGP. The wine is not eligible for the Pantelleria DOC dry white category, which is rarely used for low-intervention wines of this style.
