Terre Siciliane IGT Salealto 2021 Cusumano

The Salealto di Cusumano is a project that aims to recreate the wine that King Ferdinand IV of Bourbon consumed and used to keep in the Real Casina di Caccia di Ficuzza, located within the estate of the same name. After years of experimentation, this white is born, produced from Insolia, Grillo and Zibibbo grapes present in equal parts, vinified separately and then combined for the final aging phase.

The harvest takes place manually in boxes. After a short maceration in the press at room temperature, the must ferments in steel at a temperature of 20 ° C. This is followed by assembly and rest on the fine lees for about 10 months with final refinement in glass.

The color is intense straw yellow. The bouquet is large and enveloping, in which hints of white pulp fruit and notes of sage and tea rose emerge. On the palate it has structure and persistence, showing itself at the same time pleasantly fresh and savory.

Excellent for accompanying fried fish or Mediterranean recipes, it goes well with seafood and shellfish dishes.
