Description
In a nutshell:
A fascinatingly complex and interesting Sicilian white.
The lowdown:
Made from Grecanico which has been shown to have the same DNA profile as the more widely known Garagnega seen further north in Italy. Unusually for a white wine the juice has been macerated on the skins giving the finished result a much more rounded feel than would otherwise be the case. It then aged in terracotta amphora giving a fresh, dry wine with mild tannins, rich citrus fruits and dry herby and earthy notes.
When to drink:
For a wine this quite in alcohol is has a great deal going on and for food matching it'll partner well with fish, poultry and pork dishes in creamy sauces.
