Another exciting Sicilian white. Again it was popular in past fortified wines, but these days we see it more and more as a fresh, crisp, dry table white. The wine undergoes a cool fermentation and then sits on its lees for four months to add texture and a hint of complexity. Pale lemon hue, the nose gives us spices and herbs but also lemon pith, florals and juicy Meyer lemon notes. There is a good texture here, soft and seductive, with excellent length and minerally acidity running the full distance. It lingers with persistence. Good drinking now and over the next four years. Another wine that would be magic with a plate of fine, fresh seafood.

This wine sports a cork instead of a screwcap, suggesting a more serious wine. It worked on me, since I found it more complex, with more depth of flavour. Notes of citrus mingle with subdued ripe fruit flavours, with hints of saline and almonds. An intriguing wine.

Bright straw yellow. Particularly fruity notes of pear, apricot, white and yellow peaches. Fragrant white florals with crisp green apple notes, and pleasant minerality on the finish. Delicious with light mediterranean style dishes, pasta with herbs, seasoned or grilled seafood, tapas, risottos, savoury aperitivi.
