Tasting Note:
A honeyed, floral and spicy nose with hints of ginger and stone fruit. Ripe, sun-dried citrus characters on the palate with savoury notes and a creamy texture. Fresh, balanced acidity and a bitter lemon twist on the finish.
Background Information:
Grapes were sourced from vineyards in the coastal zone at the western tip of Sicily, in Petrosino, Trapani and Marzara del Vallo areas. At altitudes between 10 and 50m, in chalky soils with sandy patches, the vines used were of average age 20 – 25 years and were trained using the Controspalliera system. Yields were 12 – 13 tons per hectare and harvesting took place from the end of August through to the middle of September. After undergoing temperature-controlled fermentation for 30 days, the resulting wine was filtered and bottled. No oak was used in production.
Food Pairing:
Particularly good with scallops, or salmon steaks with tarragon.
