This wine is bright straw yellow with golden nuances. Kabir 2021 is characterized by a rich and fragrant bouquet with scents of tropical fruit (passion fruit) combined with flowery notes of orange blossom and delicate savoury nuances. The nose is perfectly reflected on the palate, combined with a fresh salinity that balances the pleasant sweetness. A good persistence on the finish revealing hints of pink pepper and nutmeg.

Vines are planted in hollows in the ground, at an altitude of 20-400 metres above sea level on terraced, sandy slopes of volcanic origin. Pantelleria's low bush vines have been described on the UNESCO World Heritage List as a "creative and sustainable" practice. The average age of the vines is around 50-60 years, with some of the vines exceeding 100 years in age.

The Rallo family has made wine in Marsala since 1851 and their ancient cellars tunnel beneath the city. They were one of the first families to begin making high-quality table wine when sales of traditional Marsala started to decline, launching the Donnafugata label in 1983 and championing the potential of the region’s native varieties.
