The Passito Cellars, the Lecceta and Pantelleria Gardens

Giorgio Armani was also always an example of moderation and balance in his diet, testifying to the importance of caring for the body. However, he knew how to appreciate the goodness of the island's food and wine. Pantelleria, in fact, is famous for the vineyards that cover its territory like an endless blanket, particularly the passito vines: Cantina Pellegrino in contrada Kuddie Rosse and Donnafugata in contrada Khamma are gourmet havens. Just as one should not miss the opportunity to visit the panoramic holm oak grove on top of the Montagna Grande, ancient and dense, once an impenetrable refuge for brigands, but above all a belvedere over the entire island and even Tunisia. And Pantelleria's rectangular or round gardens, dating back to the Bourbon period, whose fences were erected using lava stone to raise a palisade against the winds, containing one or a few citrus trees, also enchanted Giorgio Armani.
