WINE DESCRIPTION
Principi di Butera Insolia is a distinguished white wine crafted by the renowned producer Principi di Butera, situated in the heart of the Butera region in Central-South Sicily. This wine is made exclusively from 100% Insolia grapes, a varietal native to Sicily. The vineyards benefit from the region's ideal climate and are meticulously tended to ensure optimal grape maturation. After a gentle pressing of perfectly ripened grapes, the must undergoes fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. It then rests on the lees for six months, imparting complexity. The wine further matures for several months in bottles. The result is a crisp and expressive Insolia with a delightful bouquet, capturing the essence of Sicily's terroir. Principi di Butera Insolia offers a refreshing and elegant style that is perfect for any occasion.
