Assuli Carinda Insolia 2020
Sicily, ItalyInsolia is one of the main Sicilian indigenous white grapes, very historic to the island, and Assuli cultivates it on their Carcitella estate, Mazara del Vallo, at 120-150m on rocky clay soils. This was fermented and rested briefly in stainless, on lees. Peach, pear, honeysuckle slides along the lightly waxen, aromatic, dry palate, finishing with a raft of sandy, scrubby, Mediterranean spices. Lovely completeness to this distinctly Sicilian white.Tasted: 21 October 2021Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:ON | $18.95 | 750ml | consignment |
