2008 Vigna di Gabri Contessa Entellina DOC

An excellent expression of the local Ansonica, also known as Inzolia, this wine spotlights the special characteristics of the grape variety.

A lovely elegant white wine from a top Sicilian winery.

Tasting Notes
The intense, elegant aromas range from fruity (apples) to floral (acacia) and more complex scents of a salty or mineral (flint) cast. A structured, mouth-filling flavour that is fresh and sapid. Lingering finish.

Matching
Fish, white meat in sauce, souffle'. Ideal with porcini mushrooms.
