Introduction:
A vibrant and expressive Sicilian white, the 2023 Animoso Corleonese from Gaetano Di Carlo brings together fresh citrus, floral elegance, and gentle saline-mineral tension—showcasing purity and balance in a modern Terre Siciliane offering.

Terrior:
Grown on the alluvial and calcareous soils around Corleone in western Sicily, the vineyard benefits from hot Mediterranean days and cooling breezes. The unique combination yields ripe fruit that retains lively acidity and terroir-driven minerality.

Appearance:
Pale straw with subtle green tinges, clear and bright in the glass.

Nose:
Inviting aromas of white peach, green apple, and lemon blossom lead. Delicate floral notes—orange blossom and white rose—are layered with a hint of wet stone and fresh herbs, suggesting both elegance and freshness.

Palate:
Light- to medium-bodied with a crisp, refreshing structure. Flavors of pear, citrus zest, and melon unfold across the palate. The wine’s zesty acidity is nicely balanced by a touch of saline minerality, while a whisper of almond skin lends complexity mid-palate.

Finish:
Clean and persistent, with lingering citrus fruit, mineral clarity, and a gentle herby lift that reinforces its Sicilian provenance.
