In western Sicily, where this wine is rooted, it often gives wines with more texture and generosity than people expect from an everyday white – citrus and orchard fruit, yes, but also a little breadth and a faint honeyed edge. That makes it a lovely grape for a bottle like this: relaxed and easy to drink, but still unmistakably Sicilian in character.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect With...
