On the nose, the wine unfolds a wide array of aromas that intertwine in a harmonious balance between floral and citrus notes, with hints of lime in particular providing a pronounced citrus freshness. These are joined by nuances of pink grapefruit and green apple, which contribute to the olfactory complexity with their lively acidity, while hints of turmeric, citron, and white-fleshed melon bring a variety of aromas that further enrich the bouquet, offering remarkable depth and complexity.
On the palate, Insolia reveals its vertical structure, supported by a pronounced minerality and savory character, elements that reflect its characteristic terroir. The vineyard’s altitude, located 700 meters above sea level, plays a crucial role in giving Insolia its distinctive organoleptic characteristics: its freshness and elegance are enhanced by the mountain environment, which helps maintain the grapes’ natural acidity and define its complex and nuanced aromatic profile.
These climatic conditions, combined with a unique soil, allow us to produce a wine that best expresses the potential of the Insolia grape, resulting in a refined and elegant tasting experience, characterized by excellent aromatic persistence.
These characteristics combined make Insolia an emblematic example of the Sicilian terroir’s ability to express itself through highly charming high-altitude wines, offering a sip that is both a discovery and a confirmation of the richness and variety of the island’s winemaking traditions.
