Winemaker's Notes
|
| Climatic conditions during the growing season assured perfect ripening of the grapes from the standpoint of aroma and sugar as revealed in the Anthìlia 2007 through an agreeable mineral touch and an excellent acidic structure. The drinkable nature of this wine is rendered even more attractive by a highly fragrant aromatic profile. |

| 75 | | | 88 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | Exploring the wines of Sicily takes one down a different path in terms of the grapes one encounters in wines and in terms of the foods one might pair with them. This example shows an intense, floral, aromatic character with a slight scent of honey on the nose, and on the palate displays evolved fruit focused on peach/pear/plum characters. A chalky minerality infuses the wine, adding to its complexity. A Sicilian classic, Anthìlia blends taste and an appealing mouthfeel. The bottle’s image references the flight of a woman, the meaning of the title “donna fugata.” Grapes: Ansonica 50% and Catarratto 50%. Sometimes other grapes play a role, according to the vintage. Very nice value. Serve moderately cool, about 55-60ºF/13-15ºC, in medium-sized tulip-shaped glasses. Foods; crab and red pepper pâté; smoked trout pâté (and probably other smoked fish as well); halibut with mustard bread crumbs; baccalà salad; dishes with saffron (such as risotto ai frutti di mare, or seafood risotto)
