Inzolia Sicilia DOC 2019 - Sallier de La Tour

The Inzolia Sicilia DOC by Sallier de La Tour by Tasca d'Almerita has a brilliant straw yellow colour in the glass. The bouquet impresses with very typical Sicilian scents of orange blossoms and almonds, but also meadow flowers, kitchen herbs and melon. On the palate, this Inzolia is fresh, fruity, full-bodied, of good structure, with a delicate almond note in the long aftertaste.

Vinification of Inzolia Sicilia DOC from the winery Sallier de La Tour

The grapes for this Sicilian white wine from 100% Inzolia grow in the vineyards of Monreale near Palermo. After manual harvesting, the wine is fermented at controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks, malolactic fermentation does not take place. The wine then matures for four months on the fine yeasts before it is bottled.

Inzolia is a "migratory" grape variety that has spread around the Mediterranean, in Sicily, Sardinia, on the islands of Elba and Giglio, as always brought there by the sea-going Greeks. This grape variety enjoys warm and airy climate and, when vinified from Inzolia only, produces full-bodied wines that can withstand some years of storage. Very characteristic are the typical Sicilian flavours.

Food recommendation for the Inzolia of Sallier de La Tour

A white wine from Sicily for many occasions, which can also be enjoyed wonderfully in late summer. It goes well with fish starters, seafood pasta or a plate of spaghetti alla carbonara, and cheese.
