A new label from this winery in Salina island, based on Malvasia di Lipari grapes from a Cru called Tricoli. It's a "Malvasia secca" (dry), light, salty and mildly aromatic. A summer wine. Very good.

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.

Not hugely complex but very enjoyable if you like dry aromatic whites.

A bit effervescent- minerally and slightly tart. Very nice.

Fun saline semi-aromatic white. Mostly white florals, very little ripe fruit, saline palate and pleasant phenolic grip

Fresh and sharp, lovely aromatics and minerality - perfect for the crisp and grilled fish
