Cantine Pellegrino Gibelè is a beautiful aromatic white wine from Sicily made from Zibibbo (otherwise known as Muscat of Alexandria). Sicily is a great place to look if you prefer wines that are less astringent because of the hot climate. This wine has intense aromas of orchard fruits and fresh lemon, as well as fragrant jasmine and lavender. Refreshing and clean, it has a lovely mouthfeel and a long finish, with notes of citrus, peach and apples. Ideal with fresh shellfish, but could also be a great match for some lightly spiced Asian dishes, such as a Thai style salad.
Altitude: from 0 to 400 m above sea level.
Climate: Mediterranean, mild winters, limited rainfall, very hot and windy summers.
Traditional harvest period starting from the first ten days of September. Partial maceration, soft pressing and fermentation at controlled temperature. 4 months ageing in the cellar at controlled temperature and then in bottle.
