Sicilia Inzolia

Citrus and stone fruit-forward—my mouth was watering before I even took a sip. A sip brings more sweet citrus, a bit of florals and minerality with zippy acid and medium alcohol (12.5). Tingly too! Makes me think of a lime lozenge, but is bone dry. Imagine sucking on said lozenge lying on the sidewalk after a rain. Very pleasant if you appreciate that sort of thing (I do).

This is really terrific wine to complement oysters. Lemon, grass, and tons of salinity. Crisp and bright.

Super crisp and citrusy. Boatloads of acidity. Very refreshing.

At a (primarily) pizza restaurant in Sicily trying a bottle of wine of the Nero d’Avola grape wine for the second time. The first time wasn’t very good. This one will have us exploring more wines from this grape. I had never heard of this grape before.

Super pleasant with large fruit body of kiwi and strawberry. Dry with good chalk notes.
