Mid Lemon in colour. A blend of Viognier and Inzolia - the latter mainly planted in western Sicily and used to make Marsala back in the day. This fresh minerally wine has floral scents. Medium bodied and unoaked. Drink now. Tasted my last bottles 4 weeks later on 16th September with consistent notes. Unctuous and mouthfilling on the palate with low acid.

2013 Bianco. Blend of Inzolia and Viognier. A gentle perfume with the viscosity of Viognier on the palate. Mouth filling flavour. Fresh.

Described on sheet as “wisteria and Scotch broom on a saline backdrop.” Yeah sounds right. Oily mouthfeel.

Good, easy-drinking wine. Stone fruit, white flowers, slate. Great minerality and acidity.

Agree with @Hao Feng , not a fan of Viognier in the wrong terroir

Catarratto and Viognier in 2015 Barbazale bianco vintage. Stone-fruits and field flowers. Medium body and acidity, easy-drinking wine.

Great citrus and balanced acidity. Very refreshing and a great summertime wine, even though it's just early April!
