2024 Feudo Arancio Inzolia, Sicilia

An attractive, and attractively packaged, white from Sicily. Inzolia is anything but a household name when it comes to grape varieties, but one has to think it deserves better. One to keep an eye upon. The wine is also excellent value. Under Diam. A pineapple/yellow hue, the nose is redundant of stone fruits, citrus, spices and florals. A slightly savoury style of white, there is good intensity and excellent length here. A highlight is the seductive and seamless texture. Enjoy this over the next three to five years. It really is cracking value.

Feudo Arancio has earned a reputation for producing some of Sicily's best value wines, combining modern winemaking with the warmth and character of the island's unique terroir. Inzolia is one of Sicily's oldest native white grape varieties, prized for its freshness, aromatic charm and versatility at the table. This vibrant expression captures the sunshine, coastal influences and relaxed Mediterranean spirit that make Sicilian whites so appealing.

The vineyards are planted across the gently rolling hills of southern Sicily, where abundant sunshine, cooling sea breezes and well drained soils encourage slow, even ripening. The 2024 vintage produced beautifully balanced fruit with lively acidity and expressive aromatics, resulting in a wine that is both refreshing and generously flavoured.

The colour is a brilliant pale straw with green highlights. Aromas of white peach, citrus blossom and ripe pear are complemented by lemon zest, fresh herbs and a delicate hint of almond. The palate is bright and silky, balancing juicy orchard fruit with vibrant citrus, gentle minerality and crisp natural acidity. The finish is fresh, clean and persistent, leaving a lingering impression of Mediterranean elegance.

Serve chilled with grilled calamari, seafood risotto, lemon herb chicken, chargrilled zucchini, fresh burrata or swordfish straight from the barbecue. Enjoy while young to appreciate its lively fruit, refreshing style and exceptional value.
