This Wine: One of the 4 bottles of Tanca Nica's top cuvée range that are all made from single plots on the island of Pantelleria. The 'Yellow Label' comes from vines in the Cufura region that are nearly 100 years old on slopes facing north east at 300m altitude. The most light and delicate expression with more of a focus on fruit and herbs. Bitter citrus peel, apricot, peach and thyme just to mention a few. Drinks more like a white wine. Tiny production.

Notes on the Winemaker: Tanca Nica is the natural wine project of Francesco Ferreri & Nicoletta Pecorelli who farm just 3 hectares of vines the small and remote island of Pantelleria. Located off the coast of Tunisia, the island is party of Italy and boasts Sicilian cultural traditions. The wines from Tanca Nica are wild but precise and complex, displaying all the signs of sun baked land and Mediterranean influence.
