Normanno - Ciello Bianco, Sicily (2022)

TASTING NOTES

Clean and fresh and with a complexity and depth way beyond its price point - it's full of ripe citrus and stone fruit, minerality, with notes of spice and herbs and a great balance.

The vineyards this wine is grown in are in the sandy soils of Alcamo, west of Palermo, nearly 300m above sea level. It's made from the local variety Catarratto which, when ripe, is picked early in the day keep the acidity and freshness needed to make a bright and crunchy wine. It undergoes a short maceration on its skins which adds an extra depth of flavour and golden tinge to the colour.
