WINE DESCRIPTION

Mortellito Calaiancu Bianco is a delightful white wine produced by Mortellito, a renowned winery located in the heart of Sicily. This wine is made from a blend of indigenous grape varieties grown in the Calaiancu vineyard, which is situated at an altitude. The vineyard's unique terroir, characterized by limestone and clay soils, along with the cool climate, allows the grapes to ripen slowly, resulting in a wine with a vibrant acidity and a complex flavor profile. Mortellito Calaiancu Bianco is a refreshing and elegant wine with notes of citrus, white flowers, and a hint of minerality, making it a perfect pairing for seafood dishes or enjoyed on its own.
