Sicily / Sicilia, Italy
A mouthwatering taste of the Mediterranean
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Vicino Lontano
Vermentino
Delicate floral aromas, zesty citrus and mineral notes make our Vicino Lontano a classic example of Vermentino. If you've never tried this exciting grape variety, this wine is a beautiful place to start. Comparable to Sauvignon Blanc, Vermentino is known for its crisp acidity, perfumed aromatics, and fresh fruit characteristics. Throughout history, this grape traveled all across Europe, eventually making the Meditterean its home. In Sicily, winemakers take great care cultivating these vineyards to create wines that showcase the best the island has to offer. The result is a wine you'll be proud to bring to your next dinner party. Whip up some appetizers featuring fresh seafood or serve it alongside the main course of fresh pasta doused in a creamy sauce.

WINE REGION:
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:
White Flowers
Mineral
Lime
Our Vermentino has a balance of light and creamy characteristics. The nose offers white flower aromas with underlying tropical fruit. On the palate, acidity is countered by slight softness from a subtle touch of oak. Vanilla joins notes of lime and salt-like minerality.
