From: Sicily, Italy
Varietal: Grillo
The Cantine Fina winery is located in Western Sicily between Marsala and Erice, looking at the sea from a hill with stunning sunsets. Sicily is sunny and wind-swept, and the sea's proximity brings a unique character to its wines. The winery was established in 2005 by Bruno Fina and his wife, who worked with acclaimed Italian winemaker Giacomo Tachis to find the best terroir and microclimates in Sicily for planting both indigenous and international varieties.
Tasting Notes: This wine reveals a bouquet of white peach, mandarin orange, Mediterranean herbs, and even kiwi notes. On the palate, it is pleasantly fresh and juicy with a crisp mineral quality and flavors of orchard fruits and white flowers. A touch of bitter musk is present on the long, lifted finish.
Pairing: This wine is excellent as an aperitif and pairs well with fish, shellfish, fresh cheeses, cured meats, and fresh pasta served in a light sauce.
