A blend of two indigenous Sicilian varieties: Grillo and Catarratto with a small touch of extremely old-vine Muscat of Alexandria. Grapes are hand-harvested and fermented on the skins for one day in tank, before racked into a combination of stainless steel and neutral oak for 12 months. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.
A brilliant orange in the glass, the nose is vibrant and expressive, full of orange blossom, fresh apricots, ginger and petrichor. The flavor-packed palate is in perfect harmony, with juicy sumo citrus, marmalade and subtle saline notes buttressed by supple tannins and refreshing acidity. An eye-opening wine that's a cut above the rest.
