Best drunk as an accompaniment to food, the wine is dry with a great aroma. As with all good DOC wines this is meant to complement food and not to overpower it.
A great wine to accompany food at a very good price. Good quality, cheap, dry white. MORE INFO

86 points for a very palatable white wine that will blow your seafood dishes out of the water. Nice QPR.
Vintage very difficult for the Sicilian viticulture. Climate occurrence that has encouraged massive attacks of mildew that has led to loss of production. However, the fewer bunches per vine, brought to an excellent quality of the product. Harvest very early especially for whites.

Five stars year considered excellent. The winter was quite cold, particularly the minimum temperatures, while the mild, well-balanced spring weather allowed good foliage development. This year, like the last three years, this phenological phase was slightly delayed. Fruit setting and flowering took place normally thanks to steady high temperatures. July and August were warm without peaks of heat so the grapes ripened gradually and steadily although they were slightly behind at the time of harvesting. Like 2005 there was plenty of rain enabling the plants to avoid stress due to lack of water in summer. The grapes ripened healthily without damage from the rain in August. The Sauvignon harvest began in late August when the grapes were healthy and rich in aromas. The Chardonnay harvest began in the third week of August when the grapes showed perfect balance of sugars and polyphenolic substances.
Balanced, elegant with a refined taste. The balance between quality and price is definitely assured. MORE INFO
