Caravaglio
Infatata Malvasia Secca di Tricoli
Salina, Messina, Sicily, Italy
I have to admit - I had to look up where Salina, Italy was after ordering this by-the-glass white labeled "must try" on the wine list at a high-end restaurant/bar down the street from me. Turns out Salina is one of the Aeolian islands growing the delicious Sicilian dessert wine Malvasia delle Lipari. This wine comes from those same Malvasia grapes, but is fermented dry. Aromatic and highly expressive - it smells of jasmine, ripe pear, white peach, chaparral, and mint. It's juicy and appetizing and a total treat to taste this corner of the wine world.

A little island off the coast of Sicily is where this was born. Tasting sea salt, ocean breeze, oyster shells, wild flowers and a hot sunny day.
