THE WINES OF FATTORIE AZZOLINO
The white wines of Fattorie Azzolino retrace paths already traced in the past by the original company, thus maintaining their tradition and knowledge.
​
The Chardonnay IGT Sicilia used in purity has an intense fruity and harmonious aroma with bright notes of apricot, tropical fruit (ripe pineapple) and elderflower flowers, to which notes of vanilla, honey and a mineral nuance are added that guarantee a long aromatic persistence. Vinification and fermentation in barriques aging 10 months in Allier oak barriques. Bottling and subsequent refinement in the bottle for a further 6 months. The use of native vines such as Grillo proves to be a winning choice for the purpose of recovering the typicality of the terroir of origin and fragrances such as orange blossom and citrus fruits. At the same time, a native vine like Catarratto , wisely associated with Sauvignon blanc , gives rise to a product of great interest that enhances the Mediterranean aromas. But the innovative product with which today the company aims to a strong identification, is constituted by a Nero d'Avola vinified in white with soft pressing characterized by the classic structure of red wines and the freshness of whites.
