Are you looking for an unusual and unconventional sparkling wine? Well, you have found it. Makisè, a sparkling wine proposed here by Cantine Fina, is a Terre Siciliane IGP produced with pure Grillo grapes. This vine, which most people associate (correctly) with the production of Marsala, is also often used in the elaboration of interesting, strongly territorial white wines. In this case, in particular, part of the grapes used by the winery come from the vineyards along the sea coast in front of the island of Mozia. A magical place of incredible charm, where the green of nature, the blue of the sea and the white of the piles of salt freshly extracted from the sea enrapture the gaze of anyone passing through these parts for the first time. Elaborated in autoclave for about two months, this sparkling white wine has a beautiful straw-yellow colour with greenish reflections. On the nose, the fragrant, floral and fruity scents typical of the grape stand out, while in the mouth it is an extremely fresh and pleasant wine from the very first sip. If we want to surprise our friends with a different aperitif, we'd better make sure we always have at least one spare bottle ready in the fridge. It is hard to assume that one glass is enough. It can be addictive!
Bruno Fina and his sons are the soul of Cantine Fina. We are in Sicily, in that enchanted corner of the island that overlooks the Egadi Islands. In Marsala, to be precise, where the little jewel of the Stagnone Reserve is located, with the island of Mothia in the centre and the ancient salt pans all around. It is here that the family produces the fine wines of the family tradition. The winery is modern, designed with expertise by Bruno himself to rationalise space and production processes. Everything here is conceived and realised with the utmost respect for the integrity of the fruit. And the results can be appreciated in the glass. It is no coincidence that Fina is now one of the best known and most respected names in Sicilian oenology. From Sicily to the world.
