Terre Siciliane IGT, 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:
Terre Siciliane IGT
Italy's Terre Siciliane covers wines made across the island of Sicily—including its satellite islands of Salina, Pantelleria and Stromboli. The wines can be still or sparkling, red, white or rosé, dry or sweet, and made from such grape varieties as Sangiovese, Catarratto and Vermentino. Whatever the style, Terre Siciliane wines benefit from the natural features of this southern Italian region. Sicily's abundant sunshine, mineral-rich soils, coastal breezes and drying African winds help it produce exceptional grapes that transfer into wines of character and expression. The IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) classification system was created to provide more freedom and ease for winemaking within Italy. Wines under the IGT classification are regulated on the region of origin—where within the country grapes are grown—instead of varietals or wine styles as DOC and DOCG laws focus on.

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.
