Tasting Notes
The joy of Sicily! Beautiful scents of meadow flowers, a touch of orange and tangerine, a hint of balsam and fresh oregano. The palate is juicy, filling the mouth with these quite exotic notes but it comes in lovely and dry. So much going on. It's really a more serious wine than the price implies, and for the price it's excellent. Please note, it's unfiltered, which is something that winemakers do with much more expensive wines, knowing that the market will understand it. So it is a bit cloudy if shaken, but it does settle. But it's because of this that it's got some much interesting flavour and texture for the price.
More Info
From Alcamo in Western Sicily, the Vesco family have been tending vines, olive groves and wheat in this area for 100 years. They're known as a trailblazer on the island for organic and sustainable viticulture. Meno means less in Italian, so expect less handling, less intervention and less filtering and SO2, but certainly no less flavour! NB! This wine is unfiltered, like many fine, more expensive wines, to preserve as much character and texture as possible. It can have a thick haze at the very bottom of the bottle which can look a bit cloudy when shaken up. But this is all part of the brilliant character and nature of this wine.
