ABBAZIA SAN GIORGIO

Abbazia San Giorgio is a boutique winery located on the rugged, volcanic island of Pantelleria, nestled between Sicily and Africa. Founded in 2015 by Battista Belvisi, a passionate farmer, winemaker, and oenologist, the estate spans three and a half hectares in the Khamma region, on the southeastern part of the island. Abbazia San Giorgio is dedicated to producing natural wines through organic and biodynamic practices. With a philosophy rooted in sustainability and respect for the environment, the winery avoids the use of chemicals, pesticides, or even organic fertilizers. Instead, wild herbs are naturally incorporated into the soil at the end of winter, and fermentation occurs using only indigenous yeasts. The result is a collection of pure, unadulterated wines that are crafted without any additives or sulfites, offering a true expression of Pantelleria’s unique terroir.

Abbazia San Giorgio specializes in natural, skin-contact wines made from grapes that embody the island’s volcanic soils and distinctive climate. The winery produces ten labels, all fermented with indigenous yeasts and without any chemical interventions. Among the standout wines are Orange, Orange Sun, Joe Pesk, Cumparone, Canto del Grillo, Zibimbo, and Maggico. These wines showcase the intense flavors and vibrant character that can only come from Pantelleria, with a focus on minimal intervention and a commitment to preserving the natural essence of the grapes. Each bottle from Abbazia San Giorgio reflects the soul of the island and the deep connection between nature and winemaking.
