A bright, fresh, tropical citrus sensation!
Bright, light straw yellow with pale green hints. Delicate aromas of fresh citrus and tropical fruits, white flowers and almond. The palate carries on with touched of citrus and melon, mingled with ripe peach flavours and a fresh mineral tingling acidity.
Curatolo Arini, founded in 1875 by Vito Curatolo Arini, is run by the family's fifth generation, making it the oldest family-owned Marsala producer still in existence. Alberto Antonini is Curatolo Arini's consultant winemaker. His influence is evident in the wines, combining the richness that Sicily can easily provide with the freshness only someone with Alberto's experience can retain. Thanks to the favourable climate in Sicily, consistency in quality can also be assured from vintage to vintage.
The south-facing vineyards are located in Chirchiaro, between Salemi and Vita at an altitude of 500 metres above sea level. The medium texture limestone-siliceous soil together with a good thermical range, ensure ideal conditions to enhance the characteristic of the varietals. Vines are 35 years old, planted using the trellis system, and guyot pruned.
After destemming and crushing, the grapes are macerated for a few hours before being softly pressed and fermented in stainless steel tanks. The wines spend two months on their lees before bottling, resulting in fresh and vibrant expressions with beautiful aromatics and a clear sense of place.
