Vermentino

Vineyards planted on the sloping hillsides of Sicily are stunningly beautiful and produce some of the best wines in Italy. Fruit grown in the region experience a classic continental climate - dry, hot days are a regular occurrence and salty breezes constantly come off the Mediterranean Sea.

Thanks to coastal influences this wine features a hint of salinity that balances out rich green fruit and citrus flavors. Bright and zippy acidity was preserved during harvest by picking fruit in the wee hours of the night and makes your mouth water for another glass. Perfect for sipping alone or paired with any kind of seafood dish off the grill, this wine will make you want to plan an Ital ...

WINE REGION:

Outline of Sicily / Sicilia

Sicily / Sicilia

Even among Italy's diverse wine regions, Sicily offers something unique. Abundant sunshine, varied volcanic terroirs, cool coastal breezes and drying African winds make it a perfect place for growing vines. The island is home to many indigenous grape varieties, featuring reds such as Sangiovese, Nero d'Avola and Frappato, and popular white varieties including Vermentino, Catarratto and Zibibbo. As the largest island in the Mediterranean, Sicily's position between Europe, Africa and the Levant has long made it a strategic location. The Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Normans and Arabs have all at various times controlled Sicily, and left their mark on its 4,000-year-old winemaking tradition.

TASTING NOTES:

Melon

Green Apple

Lime

Rich green apple, lime zest, and honeydew melon flavors are complemented by a slight saltiness thanks to coastal influences from breezes coming off the nearby Mediterranean Sea. A bright acidity makes each sip linger on the palate and will have you going back for glass after glass.
