2015 Assuli Winery Carinda
Region: Sicily, Italy
Bright pale yellow. Fresh nose with tons of citrus like orange zest, splash of lemon, green apples and white floral notes. Slight undertones of almonds. Crisp and refreshing on the palate. Moderate acidity (5.5/10) and light bodied. Tons of citrus and topical fruits but not overly sweet. Delicious when chilled with a light plus to medium finish. Touch of cinnamon or so too.
First of the three whites we received from Assuli Winery. This bottling is made of 100% Insolia or Inzolia, is a white varietal originally from the island of Sciliy where this is produced. Additionally this wine is Terre Siciliane IGT which is the same as DOC or Denominazione di Origine Controllata. Aged in around 4 or 5 months in stainless steel sur lees and then gets an additional 2 or 3 months in the bottle.
2017 till 2018.
