Zibibbo Lighea - Donnafugata

Wine-making: The sapling grapes grown on terraces in Pantelleria are harvested at the end of August, in cooler districts, and with younger vines. After soft pressing of the grapes, the must is fermented at controlled temperatures; the resulting wine ages in the bottle for a minimum 2 months before release to the market. Description:The dry version of Zibibbo, this aromatic white has a true Mediterranean soul. Bright straw yellow with greenish hues, its brightness becomes grape, pear, melon to the nose; the flower merges with fruit, almond and rosemary. Beautifully caressing, it enchants with the typical features of Zibibbo, pulpy and persistent. Food & Wine: Recommended with all types of fish, baked pasta in white sauce, fried fish. Two dishes: Sarde a beccafico (sardines stuffed and roasted or fried). Pesce gatto con ravioli e asparagi alla maggiorana (catfish with ravioli and asparagus flavored with marjoram). A dry version of Zibibbo, crispy and vibrant on the palate. It is an aromatic white wine with a floreal and fruity aromas of white rose, orange blossom,peach and candied citrus zest. Sunny and bright, it's an ideal wine for an aperitif with friends, and we recommend it for your first date. Its minerality and freshness particularly suite with all kinds of bluefish and fried fish and vegetables.
