Assuli Carinda Insolia 2023

An important indigenous Sicilian variety, insolia is herein made as a single variety, carefully ripened, it offers sweet floral aromas – one may even guess a rosé if tasted blind. Its vinification in neutral stainless steel has preserved a gregarious aromatic profile of rose, elderflower, orange blossom, yellow peach, and starfruit. Its lushness cut with a salty minerality and it is punctuated by a dry, upbeat finish. Best enjoyed over the short term. Tasted April 2025. (Sara d’Amato,winealign.com)
