This ancient variety is shipped under cork, which suggests a more serious wine. It spends a few months on lees for added interest, and offers hints of almonds, dried herbs and sea spray. Would be great with seafood.
90 pts - Ken Gargett (Wine Pilot)From Sicily, specifically Acate in the Ragusa province, we have a wine made from the Inzolia grape, not one familiar to most of us. Harvesting is at night, after which there is a cool and controlled fermentation, followed by a brief maturation. The aim is to retain the freshness and the fragrance, while enhancing its minerality. Gleaming gold hue, there are floral notes here, with spices, mandarins, cumquats, white peaches and a gentle note of almond bitterness on the finish. Clean, fresh and tight, the wine is of mid-length. Lovely now, it should hold for the next three to four years.
