Idda Bianco Sicilia DOP – Gaja/ Graci

IDDA, meaning ‘She’ in Sicilian dialect and named after Mount Etna, is produced from Carricante grapes grown on the South West slopes of the volcano. Notes of tomato leaves, sage, Cantaloupe (melon) and quince at the first sniff. Followed by intriguing hints of honey and hay, yet a note of yeast and dough raises from the glass. The entrance is voluptuous and tight, yellow plum and pineapple enrich the palate with a sleek acidity. Clean-cut and savory on the mineral-laced finish.
