Calamossa Bianco Frizzante Terre Siciliane IGT , named after a splendid inlet nestled between vineyards and the sea, is made from a selection of the finest Grecanico, Zibibbo, and Catarratto grapes, harvested in the first week of September. The vineyards are located between Menfi and the southeastern coast of Sicily, at an altitude of 80 to 250 meters above sea level, on clay and limestone soils. The result is a straw-yellow wine with floral aromas of acacia and wisteria, harmoniously blended with delicate notes of honey. The palate is fresh, harmonious, and persistent thanks to the perfect balance of sugars and acidity. It is a versatile wine for a summer aperitif or paired with light, vegetable-based dishes.
