2020 Assuli Insolia 'Carinda'

100% Insolia, a native white grape varietal to Sicily open used to make Marsala. The fruit is all grown organically in the Mazara del Vallo region of northwestern Sicily. The soils are limestone rich and benefit from the Mediterranean climate of mild winters and breezy summers. The fruit is pressed extremely softly, followed by static clarification of the must and fermentation at controlled temperatures (16°/17°C) in stainless steel tanks. It spends 4/5 months aging in stainless steel tanks in “sur lies”, then in bottle for at least 2/3 months before release.

Tasting Notes: Fans of Sauvignon Blanc take note! This white shows off fresh aromas of citrus, pear and a hint of nectarine, with a clean, fresh mouthfeel cleansed by bright acidity and finishing minerally and with a hint of briny sea salt. Perfect with linguini and clams or any fried fish.

About Assuli Winery
Baglio Assuli lies in the midst of land belonging to the Caruso family, a splendid area of countryside in a property of over 120 hectares. Assuli (“in the sunshine” in Sicilian dialect) is the result of a patient, painstaking restoration of an old 18th century baglio (farm). By unting the commercial strength of a large international group with a prestigious and uniquely outstanding product, the third generation of the family- Robert, Nicoletta and Michele- is now leading the company towards new goals. The wines, all produced from organically grown grapes, display great character and perdonality, bucking the global trend of homogenizing tastes. By combining the fragrances and contrasts of Sicily with a quest for the optimization of aromas, Assuli is encouraging an ever-growing public to get to know, seek out and enjoy the wines of Sicily.
