Introduction:
A bright and aromatic white from Sicily, the 2021 Il Censo Gurte Insolia Terre Siciliane Bianco highlights the native Insolia grape with a vibrant Mediterranean flair. Juicy, refined, and exceptionally food‑friendly.
Terroir:
Cultivated on Sicily’s coastal plains in warm, sun‑bathed vineyards over clay‑limestone soils. Maritime breezes moderate temperatures, preserving freshness and expressive varietal aromas.
Appearance:
Pale lemon with subtle green reflections, clear and luminous in the glass.
Nose:
Enticing aromas of ripe pear, green apple, and Mediterranean citrus (lemon zest), layered with white flowers, a touch of almond blossom, and faint herbal notes.
Palate:
Medium‑bodied with a round, textural profile. Flavors of juicy orchard fruits—pear and apple—blend seamlessly with hints of lemon peel, almond meal, and gentle salinity. Well‑balanced with lively acidity.
Finish:
Clean and persistent, with orchard fruit echoes, a touch of minerality, and a zesty citrus lift that lingers refreshingly.
Overall Impression:
A versatile and delicious Sicilian white that pairs beautifully with seafood, Mediterranean salads, grilled vegetables, or soft cheeses. Drink now through 2025 to enjoy its vivid fruit and bright character.
