Sangue D’Oro is the wine project born from actress Carole Bouquet’s love for the island of Pantelleria and the ancient tradition of its passito wine. Sangue D’Oro today embodies the meeting of Carole Bouquet’s dream with Pasqua Wines, its winemaking vision and its commitment to safeguarding the cultural heritage of one of the Mediterranean’s most authentic gems.

This is a cultural project before it is an entrepreneurial one, because it aims, also through the voice of its founder Carole Bouquet, to restore visibility and opportunity to a unique territory, its winemaking know-how and a community that adopts ancient gestures and contemporary courage. A project that represents a technical challenge, because true technology lies in “knowing” the right moment to harvest and let the grapes dry naturally. Pasqua Wines becomes custodian of this ancient practice and uses its distinctive style to narrate and promote its strength.

Pantelleria is a place of beauty and complexity, of culture and identity, whose traditional agricultural practice — the alberello pantesco vine training — is recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. A small but precious Mediterranean gem that demands dedication, effort and respect and is increasingly marked by agricultural abandonment and the progressive reduction of cultivated surfaces. A land where viticulture becomes heroic.
