INZOLIA

Inzolia is a typical Sicilian grape variety, very common in the Menfi area, which we appreciate for the great potential of its fruit and for its pleasant aromas of fresh blossoms. The vintage has been warm and dry during the summer: as a result, the grapes achieved an intense and full aromatic concentration, well balanced by a satisfying degree of natural acidity.
Our impressions: Brilliant straw yellow with a greenish hue, the wine has a fresh and charming bouquet with scents of white pear, broom and almond blossoms. On the palate it is well balanced, with a pleasant acidity of citrus and a note of white ripe fruit on the finish Type of wine: White
