From the same estate in Trapani in west Sicily as flagship white, Bianca di Valguarnera, this Zibibbo is unoaked to keep the aromatics fully alive, while lees ageing for six months lends body to the incredible, musky perfume of pineapple, white flower, Cantaloupe melon and peach. ‘When we talk about Zibibbo, we touch my heart!’ pronounced head winemaker, Barbara Tamburini. Exotic and creamy yet with impressive tightness, salinity and acidity, it finishes dry and makes for a very moreish glass of wine.
