White Wine Cantine Fina
Cantine Fina produces a remarkable selection of white wines. Among the most famous we find the Kebrilla, a white obtained from the native Grillo grape, one of the oldest in Sicily. It is a fresh, floral and elegant wine, with a citrusy and ripe taste. Part of the grapes used to produce this wine comes from the vineyards near the coast, located in front of the island of Mozia. It is a savory wine, excellent to be tasted as an aperitif and in combination with fish dishes, cheeses and cured meats. In addition to Kebrilla, we cannot fail to mention Taif, produced with Moscato d'Alessandria grapes, known in Sicily with the name of Zibibbo. It seems that this vine is native to Egypt and that its name has changed into Zibibbo, from the Arabic zabib "raisin", in Sicily. Usually Zibibbo is a vine used to produce sweet wines but Taif is a dry white wine, perfect to combine with fish and shellfish appetizers, white meats and cheeses, for its extraordinary notes of peach and mandarin. If you love Sicilian wines but prefer those produced with international grapes we suggest the Vola Vola and the Mamarì. The first, the Vola Vola, is a white wine made from Viognier grapes, a French vine not grown in Italy and capable of giving rise to extremely elegant wines. It is a wine with exotic and citrus notes, intense and savory, excellent to combine with fish dishes such as herring, mackerel, salmon, eel or capitone, as well as Sushi and Sashimi. The second, Mamarì, is a white wine made from Sauvignon Blanc grapes, a French vine that arrived in Sicily around the nineties. It is a wine with herbaceous and vegetable notes, it is very fruity, with exotic hints such as pineapple and floral notes such as broom. Excellent to combine with hot or cold appetizers, it also goes well with fish dishes, both raw and steamed. These are just some of the great whites, discover the Cantine Fina selection on Vino.com.
