Sapling Vine Of Pantelleria



Sapling vine of Pantelleria is a traditional technique of cultivating head-trained bush vines. Known as the ancient Cossyra or Cossura, Pantelleria (pronounced [pantelläria], is an Italian island in the Strait of Sicily in the Mediterranean Sea. Several sweet wines are produced in Pantelleria, such as the Moscato di Pantelleria and Moscato Passito di Pantelleria, created from the native Zibibbo grape, the raw material of the prized Passito di Pantelleria.

Known as Alberello Pantesco, the sapling vine of Pantelleria, it is an ancient and traditional which produces the white grape Zibibbo. Plantations on Pantelleria are heavily influenced by extreme environmental conditions. A constant windiness, sparse precipitation, and high humidity are all factors that contribute to the cultivation of vines, the Pantelleria sapling.

Vines are grown in basins about 20 cm deep, where rainwater is accumulated and grapes are protected from the wind. It is particularly known for its cultivation technique, which was developed in the Phoenician civilization and perfected over the centuries.

The vines are then carefully pruned to form six branches, forming a bush with a hollow. The hollow is constantly reshaped to ensure the vines are growing in the best microclimate before the grapes are harvested by hand beginning in July.

Vine growers and practitioners in Pantelleria practice vite ad alberello, a technique that requires harsh climate conditions and oral and practical instruction. These skills are passed from generation to generation through oral and practical teaching.

This technique, which involves several phases, was handed down through practical and oral instructions by generations of winemakers and farmers of small plots of land on the Mediterranean island of Pantelleria. The grapes are used to make the Passito di Pantelleria.

A basin of land is created around the Pantelleria tree to allow for its production of grapes and to preserve its life during adverse climatic conditions, which characterize Pantelleria for 9/10 months a year.

Around 5,000 people have a plot of land that they cultivate, using sustainable methods. Several phases of the planting procedure are used: leveling the soil, digging a hollow, and then planting the vine. The vines on Pantelleria grow in a radial arrangement.

During the festival season, the local community can organize rituals and social events to celebrate this social event. Up to these days, the people of Pantelleria continue to identify themselves with vine growing and are striving to preserve this practice.
