I spent a short but fabulous time in Sicily in 2022. My favourite eating and drinking experiences were the supermarket bought aperitivo and cantina bought local wines (aside from two very memorable visits with long time admired producers). Both the 2023 Rosato and Pinot Grigio are musings on these moments.
I think it’s a combination of texture, line and subtle reduction that gives the Sicilian whites a viscosity and refreshing quality at once. Somewhat salty and white stone fruited, the wines go incredibly well with salty snacks in a casual setting. – Little Reddie
