"Suòlo 5" comes from vineyards positioned on the fertile hills of the Risignolo Estate, located in central western Sicily. It is a Terre Siciliane Bianco IGT that is striking for its freshness and sapidity, whose aromas on the nose are fine and fruity. The grapes, once harvested early in the morning during the harvest, are taken to the winery, where static decantation of the musts and alcoholic fermentation take place, part in steel. This is followed by the aging phase, carried out in steel for a duration of 6 months. Each bottle is numbered and, therefore, unique, the perfect gift for all those who love great whites from southern Italy.
Tasting Notes: To the eye it has a clear straw color, enriched by slightly more greenish notes. Fine and intense the nose, where notes of orange blossom alternate with more fruity and citrusy hints. It enters the mouth with a savory and fresh sip, decidedly long on the finish.
Pairings: Raw fish is its perfect pairing, but it is also absolutely worth trying with Asian seafood recipes or the more classic California rolls.
