"Molino a Vento" Inzolia Terre Siciliane IGP 2022

Let's start with the grape variety. Inzolia, used purely in this pleasant white, is one of the oldest and most widespread varieties in Sicily. A great classic of the region that enjoys a "democratic" success, that is, it is equally appreciated by great experts and simple enthusiasts. Tenute Orestiadi proposes it in a contemporary guise with its Molino a Vento, Terre Siciliane IGP. The grapes, which come from vineyards characterized by black soil, excellent exposure and an altitude of about 200 metres above sea level, are harvested when fully ripe and softly pressed before being sent to the fermentation phase, which takes place at a controlled temperature in stainless steel containers. The same material is used for the quick refinement of about 3 months followed by at least 2 months in the bottle to give the wine time to reach its balance. The result is a white characterized by a beautiful straw yellow colour, with intense aromas ranging from notes of fresh fruit, especially green apple, to acacia flowers. In the mouth it is well structured, characterized by a fresh and savoury taste, with a long and persistent finish. Let's put it to the test with an all fish menu, perhaps starting with a nice risotto alla marinara and then continuing with a slice of grilled swordfish. Incredibly good.
