Sicilia Zibibbo
We tasted seven white wines from Campania and Sicily, all single grape varietals, 2009-2012. Gorgeous caramel color, and quite savory.

Oct 10th, 2020Very expressive nose with both fruit and perfume. I couldn't pinpoint the floral component but it wasn't as rose-y as some other grapes. On the palate the wine was very high in acidity, almost sour. It was still fruity but not as full bodied as the nose would lead you to believe. Paired really well with a goat cheese and kale pie!
